the $20 bill is completely off, illustration-wise.
Also, no fokin' reference to computers or inet or even telephone as 20th century stuff? OMFG
For the rest, all nice, clean and... Swiss. It looks like everything but a note...

"The Dollar ReDe$ign Project hopes to bring about change for everyone. We want to rebrand the US Dollar, rebuild financial confidence and revive our failing economy".
Typically effete, liberal creative response.
Get real jobs, guys.

On a serious note - do these schmucks really think it's a good idea to add a partisan graphic element (the Change logo) to a federal note?.
I'd've thought the perfect response to the brief would be to go with some dynamic representation, where the value of the currency is printed in e-Ink - so you can see the devaluation of your mother money in real time, as the pyramid top leaches away the future's profit. MIght sound expensive now - but look at how many times Zimbabwe's had to reprint its currency these last few years...

I have to agree that this is a load of horseshit. The sort of thing that makes people think designers are a useless waste of money — and they may be right.

Just wondering - who actually designs/designed notes that we currently use. When I saw this - http://www.snb.ch/en/iabout/cash… - just laughed at 1000 bill - it looks like a LOL cube; and the black-to transparent gradient makes them look poor if not to say....childish.
- That was a compo and it tells you right there who 'designed it - Krebs Manuel.detritus
- Honestly if I had a 1000 bill, I wouldn't care if there was a picture of Palin on itsseo
- lol detritus, I was thinking the same thingmonospaced

I just realised one thing - don't we use more and more "electronic" money? Right now, for almost everything you can pay by using debit/credit card. If the current design works, why fix it. The brand new design will not increase US or other countries credibility nor increase the value / rebuild the confidence.

is money public domain?

I've been saying for a long time we should move towards getting rid of paper receipts. Imagine how much retail stores would save by not having to spend on all that paper.

I feel like that guy's original intention was just to win a free iPad, and put in an entry that was reasonably thought out and quickly executed. Now he's probably like damn you Khoi why I am on your website.

I wanna know what's on the other side - white space ?

There's a reason why money is not white and the designs are complicated .. taking into account all the security measures ..
doesn't seem like this was well thought through..

can you imagine how gross and dirty that white paper would be within a week?
