Banknote design
Ned Drew
Rutgers University-Newark
Cultural diversity was the underlying context
for this project. Students were asked to design
a series of banknotes in three sequential
denominations, both front and back sides
(Figs.
11- 60
and
11- 61
). They began by
researching the country of their origin and
engaging in word lists, mind maps, visual
notations, and image gathering. The goal of
the project was to design a currency system
revealing pertinent historical, social, and
environmental aspects of the home country,
providing the system with functionality and
aesthetic beauty.
Ultimately, the new banknote designs
attempted to surpass the quality and
communicative effectiveness of those
currently in use.
