On Banknote Design for Wired’s “The Future of Money”
In: web resources
18 Mar 2010On Banknote Design for Wired’s “The Future of Money”:
Aegir Hallmundur:
The design of banknotes represent something I find gloriously poetic — imperfect perfection — if it was perfect by our usual standards, it would be imperfect. Wonderful. So tried to capture some of that in my design, overlaying colours with an offset, adjusting the lettering a little bit to reflect the kind of oddities on real dollar notes and creating the odd layer of extra guilloche-work barely fine enough to see. I’m glad Wired is well printed and that it all came through.
I read the Wired article just a couple weeks ago, not knowing the illustration was Aegir’s handiwork. I’ve been following Ministry of Type for some time now, and in my opinion, it’s one of the best design blogs to read sans RSS reader.

“The goal was to create a design that is eye-catching, targeting the younger fashion-conscious, trend-led customer. burst* created a clean, bold, strong graphic solution, commissioning and closely art directing illustrations by McFaul. The bold single colours help differentiate the variants and stand out well on-shelf against the kaleidoscope of colour surrounding it. Also making the most of the metal substrate and print limitations. Sales went up dramatically when the new packaging hit the shelves.”
Designed by Burst.
Twilight as some say is the best time of the day. Its when the sun sets below the horizon level, and beautiful colours are produced – right after a beautiful sunset. Compiled here is a small collection of some inspirational examples of beautiful landscapes and twilight photography
