How to make my design appear like a bank note

In order to make my design appear somewhat similar to that of a bank note I began to research factors in which banknotes maintain, I decided to use the £50 note as my influence as it carries out the most intricate designs and fraud features compared to that of any other.

The £50 note, with the portraits of Matthew Boulton and James Watt on the back, is the highest denomination in value and largest in size (approx. 156mm x 85mm).

Denomination numeral - there is a large number 50 and £ symbol in the top left corner on the front of the note to assist easy recognition of its value; this negates the need for a specific symbol for the partially sighted. There is also a slightly smaller number 50 in the top and bottom right corners.

Unique numbering - a unique number is printed horizontally and vertically on the back of the £50 note. The horizontal number is in the bottom right corner and consists of multi-coloured letters and numbers, increasing in height from left to right. The vertical number runs down the left side and has letters and numbers that are the same height and colour.

Copyright symbols - the international copyright symbol is included on the front and back of the £50 note. This can be found to the left of the motion thread on the front of the note and on the back under the words 'James Watt 1736 - 1819'.
