License to Print Money — Studio Brief 01 — OUGD505

This brief allows the imagination to run wild. Having the opportunity to create our very own currency means many possibilities, however exhibiting along side Level 4 means an intuitive yet individual response needs to be thought of to avoid the use of the same ideas and concepts.

Initial thoughts on the brief pointed towards executing a design within something you are interested in. Having free reign to think of anything is a great opportunity to take advantage of your individuality from not just a design pint of view, but also to influence the outcome by you are interested in.

At this time, possible concepts include:

• A modern take on the Japanese Military Banknote
• Mars One Mission — 'Martian currency'
• Universal currency
• A currency that celebrates Science rather than history and power

The possibilities are endless, however more refinement will take place throughout the research stage of this brief, enabling a more specific/individual concept to be executed.
