I was quite unsure of what the aim of
this brief was because I found the brief on estudio to be quite confusing but after talking
to Simon I decided to loosely Come up with my own interpretation of the
brief. To me this brief is about reinventing and redefining the bank
note as digital methods of pay sits on the edge of taking over. With that my
aim is to redesign the bank note into something I feel is more relevant in
today's society.
Bank notes have survived electronic
banking for a long time as credit/debit cards and pay pal have existed for a
long time. My concept/idea
is a modern redesign of the British bank note to make it more convenient and
pleasurable to use. For me this means taking into consideration size, material,
colour and design.
In
light of this, experimenting with polymer or something
similar for the bank note will be appropriate.
Id
like to take the size of the notes into consideration and make them a bit
smaller. As my purse is quite small it doesn’t hold larger notes comfortably so
I wanted to address this problem as I'm sure I'm not the only one. A slimmer
design will be more convenient for all purses/wallets and tills.
Taking
inspiration from the other banknotes I decided that modern looking design and
colour were important. So at first I looked at modern looking geometric
patterns like the circles and lines
I combined some of these elements and I
found a design I really like. I kept the pink colour and used it for the
geometric pattern to give it a modern look and then gave the note some finer
details to make it more interesting and visually engaging.
I’m
actually really really
pleased with how this turned out. It took a long time to get the stencil sorted
with all the small details but after it was done the printing process was
really enjoyable because I just really just love screen printing. A lot of
aspects of my bank note wouldn’t be apparent unless you had a whole set printed
and they were printed on my desired material, however I think the design is
really sleek and modern looking and therefore achieving the aims I had set out
for myself
