Salam and hi everyone,
Sorry it took me so long to update this page.
Just realized that it took me a while to comprehend the scale of complexity
for this project was beyond your average designer.
I'm your average designer.
Not an economist, a politician, a banker or in anyway involved in
influencing the value of money as a professional.
At least in it's purpose.
So, as an effective way for me to communicate best about 'Money' is
building the research from the most immediate tangible way.
Money as an object, or a tool used for trading.
Just pure paper and metal.
Which means the closest way for me to understand my relationship with
money is through the design elements of what makes money, money.
The fact that a designer friend of mine shared with me his thoughts
about money is to him, opened my eyes to view money differently.
That the illusion of graphic design elements determines the numeric value
of a piece of paper by the material, color, font, artwork of
the paper / metal itself.
Geoffrey Cope, a numismatic collector said something that made me
realize the value of money is not in it's numeric value alone.
"Art in the form of coins is not only what we study,
but the emotion when we hold a piece of history"
Interesting, right?
You may agree, or disagree, but at this time of mankind history, Money
makes the world go round. For you to live without it is rather challenging.
The fact that 'Money' means differently to different people, is what
inspires me to explore the 'in-between relationship' people in majority
have with 'Money'.
Hopefully, through this process, we can refine, improve or at least make
people rethink their relationship 'Money' as an experiential / cultural tool
in today's civilization.
So, the exploration of 'Money' begins with the basic human tactile
experience, such as sight, touch, smell, taste, hear and feel.
It's been a hectic week to organize the information alone, so bear with me beginning this coming week. :)
