The Money Making workshop was the first in a series of three interlocking illustration events that took place during the Center for Drawn Togetherness Exhibition. All the events asked design students to collaborate in different ways, using drawing as a way to foster student connections in the Communication Design department at Texas State University.
In this workshop, students were assigned partners and worked together to create a hand drawn currency for the Center that was printed on the risograph printer. Prompts were given at regular intervals to walk students through the thought process of designing a currency and to encourage them to get to know each other while they worked.
Visitors to the exhibition could earn the “currency” created in this workshop by participating in the subsequent event in the series, the Drawing Concert.
