Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money Ideas/Initial Sketches

In this blog, I have roughly made some quick sketches on getting an idea on how to base on a particular theme. These were: a nature theme, precious metals theme and gambling money theme based on the cards symbols.

I have also done some layouts of my banknote design in the front and the back. So I can get a physical and visual idea on what I will be designing and printing on my banknote. Instead of the Queen of England face being on the banknote, I thought it was appropriate to put the British Arms on the Banknote which are the Unicorn snd Lion either on the back or the front of the note.

The nature theme banknote will consist of the different seasons these are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I will try and get paper that also portray these then screen printing my designs on it.

The precious metals will consist of Sliver, Bronze, Gold and Platinum. I will use metallic colours to convey this idea when screen printing.

Finally, the Gambling idea will consist of the symbols of playing cards (Diamond, Clover, Spade and Hearts). It will also be in a playing card shape than a banknote shape. Again this may be printed in metallic colours on black or white card stock.

Jan Tschichold - Grids

Feedback from Tutor of Publication After receiving feedback from my tutor, he informed me to use grids within arranging my layout of my publication pages. This will keep my images and text in a consistent manner, thus making it visually professional. To achieve this precise layout, I will research on Jan Tschichold Grid System. This will allow me, to understand this type of matter of using a grid.
