(Re) Designing the Dollar

Beautiful idea for a (badly needed) redesign of American money by designer Michael Tyznik. We can dream, can't we?

Last month, students in Jason Santa Maria’s Communicating Design class at SVA were assigned the task of designing their own local currency. Inspired by Ithaca Hours and BerkShares, students pulled a neighborhood out of a hat, and were asked to research their neighborhood to determine what characteristics should be represented on its currency. A great project with some pretty awesome results.
