Brief

Money, or currency, is defined as something that is in motion as a medium of exchange.  It is an interface to many, if not all, of the opportunities of a cosmopolitan city such as London.  Money is one of the most powerful forces in our world and yet we rarely give attention to its material qualities as we interact with our environment on a daily basis.  Cash, cards, swipes, keypads, chips, signatures, slots, receipts, and bank machines constitute our only physical interactions with a crucial complex network of flows that underlay the constructive and deconstructive potentials of all humanity.

Your task is to become involved as a designer in the formal qualities of currency and to implement an original and compelling interface to the flow of money.  The result may take any physical form (print, digital, environmental) but it must be based on some form of research and it must at least make an attempt to participate in or activate, rather than simply reflect, your point of view on currency.  Regardless of the form of your final result, you should also document the entire process:  your research, sketches, iterations, variations, any obstacles you encounter or questions your have, and the final result in the form of a web page.
