“Clown puke”: Australia absolutely hates its new $5 bill
#Updates Perhaps Australians are spoiled when it comes to banknotes. In a 2012 episode of the podcast 99% Invisible, design experts singled out Australia’s polymer notes… http://qz.com/659958/clown-puke-australia-absolutely-hates-its-new-5-bill/ QZ.com

So at this stage of the project, I have designed two types of Banknote to be used to vote for the EU referendum. The elements I used to generate the design are based on the theme of each vote. I colored them with pencils and did a lot of test prints to test its similar presence to the real banknote. A banknote design usually consist numerous variety of colors that are subliminal to our naked eye. So I attempted these elements to
In the IN Brexnote you may notice these elements:
The knot border pattern represents a meaning of a “together is stronger”, which refers to the understanding that the choice of remain will make the country stronger by staying united with the EU .The border pattern of knots was also derived from David Cameron’s supportive arguments for the UK to remain as a member of the EU.
The serial number is disguised as the date of the referendum.
The geographic map of EU and UK in the frame on both sides of the note refers to the unity of Land and the visual territory of the current EU. It also represents the free movement of UK and EU citizens.
Repetitive pattern of the word IN in the background.
The Omron Pattern Replica behind the value of the note.
The UK and EU flag on the other side of the note where the audience can write their reason to their vote.
The Warm Color Scheme on the note design represents tolerance, conservative values, and comfort.
The Gold Color Foil Printed word “ IN” as the Hologram print effect.
In the EXIT Brexnote you may notice these elements:
The Micro pattern of Stairs (you might need to see it closely) as the border of the note design. This is to define that if Brexit happens, the UK will make a huge step to sovereignty and full independence.
The Subliminal UK Flag in the center of the note that represents national independence.
The Cool Color Scheme on the note design represents responsibility, strength, and prominence.
The Silver Foil Printed word “ EXIT” as the Hologram print effect.
The rest are pretty much the banknote features with democratic messages.
The next thing is to create and design the circulation and voting system; the idea of Voting ATM.

The Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for the design of currency, including portraits which appear on paper currency. By law, only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on currency (31 U.S.C. § 5114(b)). The major consideration in modern currency design is to prevent that note from being counterfeited. This has been true from the beginning of the United States currency and has evolved alongside technology.

As part of my historical Research I have read a number of articles. None I’ve found thoroughly sum up why aesthetics have been so crucial in convincing the public of a banknotes authenticity.

The Designs Norway Rejected For Its New Banknotes Are Amazing
Yesterday we learned that Norway had chosen a new design for its banknotes —a pixelated little number by the architects at Snøhetta . While their design is tasteful and restrained, it can’t possibly live up to the charm of sea life drawn by kids. Which was exactly what one designer proposed.
