For my printed evaluation I decided to go with the same layout as my monograph. I also included a little self assesment infographic. I looked back into everything went wrong throughout the project, and what I was happy with. Moreover what I’ve been learning from previous projects.

A week before deadline I did my first test print, with 2 different colours paper: white and green. I felt paper money has always been seen as the colour green so I thought that could work for the cover. 

I went around asking for feedback and some the main crits I got were:

1. The coca-cola bottle infographics was too small, not very noticeable.

2. When you open the cover the title ‘Notaphily’ is lost, you can’t tell what it says.

3. The paragraph in the cover doesn’t align the cards.

4. The colour green takes away quality from the banknotes images in the cover.

I asked different international student to let me borrow their banknotes from their countries or travelling experience with a story the banknote reminded them of. This was a little tricky since I had 500 words for my whole outcome and 10 banknotes I wanted to talk about that meant I had to shorten some stories to an average of 50 words, but came out with great short stories.

1 Romanian Leu

This banknote is like having a piece of Romania with me, although it reminds me that with such is not even enough to buy a bread. Regardless, still waiting for that moment to get back home and my mother giving me that 1 leu to go to the corner shop.

1 US Dollars

The first memory that comes to mind when looking at my one dollar bill is from living in the states. When I went to school everyday and made sure it was in my bag to buy my daily packet of cookies.

10 Bangladesh Taka

Walking by Buckingham Palace in busy London I looked down and I saw this amazing looking banknote. At first I didn’t even know it was money, but when I realised I thought it could be worth a lot. Turns out it was barely 10p, not even enough for spices in Bangladesh.

10 Croatian Kunas

I never tend to see my friends from home any more, since we all live in different countries. Spontaneously we decided to go for a short trip to Croatia. After a night out in an island we decided to get a taxi boat home, for just 10 Kunas each.

5 Euro

After living outside of Europe for a year, I came back to see we had new banknotes, the 5$ was the only one that had changed so far. My first impression was that it was fake and that the coffee house was scamming me, however me and my aunt had 2 great coffees.

20 Hong Kong Dollars

With a $20 note you can travel from one side of Hong Kong to another. That's what I miss about growing up there, one minute I'm at home looking at the ocean and mountains and $20 dollars later, I'm right in the middle of a concrete neon jungle.

5 Australian Dollars

Every day I’m at uni, my friends and I walk down Broadway to buy Miso soup and sushi rolls with a five dollar note each. We choose Japanese, but in that part of Sydney, we could just as easily get Indian, Burmese, Thai, Malaysian or Vietnamese.

5 United Arab Dirham

The first big trip I ever did leaving the continent was my holiday in Abu Dhabi. There my friend and I went for a safari experience where in the middle of the dessert: we had a barbecue, did sandsurfing and for 5 Dirhams we rode a camel.

100 Indian Rupee

When I was younger me and my father would go on the weekend to the market on the streets in New Dheli. You could see a lot of kids playing football around the streets. My favourite thing to buy with 100 rupees was Samosas in the street food.

5 British Pound

I created a infographics board on Pinterest to search for some inspiration.

In my previous essay of object analysis I talked about the coca-cola bottle. The main point I made on the essay was the classic silhouette, when you see it you immediately recognise it. I needed an object for my infographic that represented 1 pound. 

My story for the American banknote was:

The first memory that comes to mind when looking at my one dollar bill is from living in the states. When I went to school everyday and made sure it was in my bag to buy my daily packet of cookies.
