1. The 2012 London Olympics Task One: Ticket Design You have been asked to to design the tickets that will be used at an event at the athletics stadium at the London 2012 Olympics. Before you begin, in pairs you need to discuss the following: Which software application would be most suitable for this task? Orientation – will the tickets be landscape or portrait (and why?) Information – what information will the ticket need to provide? Dimensions – how big should the tickets be? Appearance – what things should be added to make it attractive?

2. To give you a good idea of what your ticket might end up looking like, this is what the tickets at the 2010 World Cup looked like. Why do you think there are bar codes on the ticket? What is this and what is it for?
