You are to redesign and re-conceptualize our currency. This project can take any shape in its final form, but I do require this project to be printed out BEFORE THE CRIT (be sure to get your print card from the business office for practice).
You are to recreate, front and back, the $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills. for a total of 12 new designs.
It is up to you how the final product looks, do the dominations refer to anything specific? Are you changing the size, shape, orientation of the bills? Is there a conceptual or design relevancy to the front and back of the bills being different, the same? You are to incorporate a serial number and the federal seal. These can be as simple and /or complex as you see fit. But, we do have two class periods to work on these, so use your time wisely.
Think about color, shape, design...this project will help with your navigation between layers and open files.
it will expand your use and knowledge of various tools, creating graphics, merging and manipulating images.
Be Creative!!!
