US CURRENCY REDESIGN by jack prettyman
"In 1739, before the Dollar was used as US currency, Benjamin Franklin’s printing firm in Philadelphia printed colonial bills with nature prints—unique raised impressions of patterns cast from actual leaves. I took this as inspiration and themed my currency redesign around tree leaves that are indigenous to the US."
This is an example of a currency redesign for the US Dollar by a Graphic Design by the name of Jack Prettyman. This is the perfect display of how a detailed research in to the history of money can be reflected upon and then adapted in to a modern contemporary context and through this redesign it shows the nature of how important it is to develop a strong concept and this always end up in proficient informed design.
Off the back of this research it have also made me consider the need of including modern day realistic aspects such as serial codes and governmental seals, but the need for these is only dictated by the concept of the redesign itself.
