“It all started in June when we had the opportunity to attend a one-week workshop by KBA-NotaSys in banknote security and designing, as a part of our graphic design curriculum. Fatima Abdulla Farah Abdulrahman and I applied what we have been learning, and used that to design of two banknotes. Later we designed two more banknotes to complete a series. We also got the help from a third team member, Shaima Al Amari, who also got to the chance to attend the whole workshop and understand the rules of bank note security. During the process, we received lots of encouragement and feedback from our teachers, families and fellow students.
Experiencing the field of banknote designing made us think about extending our knowledge and experience into applying it in real jobs. Winning the banknote design contest we were thrilled to visit KBA-NotaSys in Switzerland and meet experienced designers and learn the printing process of banknotes.”
