Show Me the Money Exhibition


As I had no prior knowledge to the history or design of money, this was quite an intriguing exhibition. Seeing some examples of contemporary and different designs for bank notes was new to me, as although I have previously seen redesigns I have never really looked closely and thought about them. What was most interesting was banknotes designs with a derogatory depiction of money. These focused on themes such as 1% of the country owning half of the countries wealth. These made clear statements and explored different themes which is something I want to focus on. Creating a redesign with a concept is vital, therefore I shall explore different ideas within my own work. This was a really great starting point and a useful form of first hand research.
