Hi,
Does anyone know of any sites that allows for the personalisation of
information and does it well?
Within a site I am wire-framing, users can select from 8 categories that
relate to them and a panel will then tailor content and display it in a
panel separate from the main content on the site.
I've wondered this too. As far as I know it's just the first number
(typically 3, 4, or 5) that indicates card type. All I can guess is
it's an additional safeguard that the card is legitimate. I notice
that I'm always asked this question when using my card over the phone
- perhaps it's as

Arjan, its *great* to see design approaches being explored in a program like
this!
another approach might be to bring the design *process* to the surface, to
compliment things that focus on the subject matter (security)
eg in your 2nd year course, you talk about influence & perception of
security.
