Modernized Banknote Currency

This Redesigned American Money Series is Creates by Travis Purrington

— November 19, 2014 — Art & Design
Design student Travis Purrington stuns with his redesigned American money series. Purrington is currently enrolled in the School of Design in Switzerland and is known for his clean and futuristic aesthetic.

Travis Purrington's redesigned American money series features a modernized version of the $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills. Instead of famous politicians, the artist's re-imagined bank notes are adorned with architectural monuments, bird's eye landscape views and ambiguous geometries that are synonymous with modern art.

These re-imagined bank notes also feature astronomical imagery and are displayed in a palette of muted pink, purple and blue tones that are reminiscent of Instagram photo filters. The currency-themed art pieces are a fresh and futuristic translation of America's money and how it may change moving forward.
Trend Themes
1. Redesigned Banknote Aesthetic - There is an opportunity for graphic design and print companies to offer modernized and updated banknote designs to countries looking to revamp their currencies.
2. Astronomical and Geometric Imagery on Banknotes - Printing companies can create innovative and personalized banknotes with customized geometric or astronomical motifs, which can appeal to collectors and investors.
3. Digital Currency Adaptation - This trend could be a precursor to the adoption of digital currencies as a mode of payment since they can practically be designed and updated with the same design-minded approach used by Purrington.
Industry Implications
1. Banking and Finance - Banking and Financial institutions can update their banknote designs according to this new modernized redesign aesthetic.
2. Printing and Graphic Design - Printing and Graphic design companies could expand their offering to provide innovative and personalized banknote designs to countries and international organizations.
3. Cryptocurrency and Blockchain - Cryptocurrency and Blockchain-oriented businesses could explore the possibilities of incorporating modernized banknote designs in their digital currencies.
