Media passport

This is the passport that I made in Adobe Illustrator.  

Today I made this pattern for the media passport 

Why do media passport pages and paper currency use intricate patterns ? 

Passport pages and paper currency use intricate patterns to make them harder to copy and counterfeit. 

What do you notice about the colours used on the background images of passports? I notice theirs other type of patten to choose to fit in my passport and different type of shape patterns. 

Show three examples of passport pages and describe the background images/pattern 

                           These are the three passports I found.

What do you like about them?

I like how it is well designed on the name date and numbers also the photo is more clear. However, it doesn't have much colours and so for me, it looks and feels dry.

How do they ensure that the text can be read if printed over an image? 

If users take or upload a photo, the system should use optical character recognition (ORC) to read the machine-readable zone (MRZ) at the bottom of the passport page. 

Now find three examples of paper currency 

How are the images different from those used on the passports?

The printed patterns on the pages are deliberately complex, like banknotes, to make copying difficult. The background print in the genuine passport (left) consists

of solid fine lines unlike the random dots of the counterfeit (right), a characteristic of readily available home printers.

This is a passport page that I am making from InDesign. I watched the tutorial video to help me make a passport page. First, I've added a box so I can write my details and I wrote the title of my course in it. 

I didn't have much time to complete it but if id did had more time, I would complete it.

I think the process of this passport went a bit difficult because this my first time using InDesign. I don't remember all of the codes that I used. 

I enjoyed having this experience which made me learn a little bit more on how to use adobe illustrator and InDesign.
