Having extensively researched money design past and present and come up with a concept I began to generate hand drawn Ideas of money print. These were based on the images I had seen in Richard Barnes Book 'Mods!' I also used the research into the current english not, too see how type and image was displayed. I had to consider the elements which make it currency, obviously the amount of money the note grants the bearer, who was issuing the note, in this case the bank of England (I wanted to make the note simplistic yet seem usable which is why I chose to include the issuer)
I initially wanted to produce Notes, based on subcultures, which featured an image and a small paragraph of type about the subculture, the style I drew above is what I initially wanted my design to look like, yet I had to consider the requirements of the brief which meant that I had to produce my note via analogue methods of design (Monopint, screen print) and that Type at a small size can be lost through screen print, I had to have my type at a size of 12 or higher. Meaning the type would take up alot of the design If i was to put a paragraph on the page, I realised this and knew I would have to make the design of the note more simple.
I continued to try the same style until moving on to digital designs, which I felt would be easier to fully understand my concept.
