Did you know that the most expensive coffee in the world is made from the waste of a civet native to the Philippines? I didn’t know that either, until I read this book! Mukha ng Pera is a thesis project that aims to use money and its symbols to teach history to public school students. It makes use of money—something we see every day but often overlooked of its other purpose: reminding the Filipino people of their history and heritage. Mukha ng Pera is a book filled with fun trivia, cute illustrations, and even slots, where you can slip real bills to see the significance of the symbols printed on it! The whole book is researched, compiled and designed by the child-at-heart (and my “daughter”) Noni! Please vote for her work by liking the post on Facebook and sharing it with your friends! nonilovestoeat: hellogamo: Hey guys please vote for my girlfriend (if you deem her worthy)! She’s a finalist at this year’s Philippine Graphic Design Awards!  It’s a friggin textbook researched, compiled, branded, designed, illustrated and laid out by one person! A friggin textbook! Socially relevant and aesthetically pleasing, what more can you ask for!?  Yeah, it’s a textbook that aims to teach children about histories behind the imagery found on the mundane, everyday thing we call money. It’s got facts, activities, fun related stories (ala-Ambeth Ocampo) and even pages with slots you can put your money in and it aligns to trivia!  I have other friends who are finalists too so check them out! Reese’s DIY or Die is a creative book of engaging people into arts! Sev’s Drumocracy is a cool, fun and effective way to learn drumming! I should know, an afternoon with it and i’m already kicking beats…kinda!  and Tata-of-all-Trade’s Barangay Bahagi! A project that encourages people to share and bring light to local problems and issues through the use of photography and an easy to use website! I’m the girlfriend. I’m the mother of the author. Hihihihi <3
