Travis Purrington Proposes New US Currency Designs

Travis Purrington's Master Thesis was to update the banknote for the United States of America. His design project is called "WORTH: The Aesthetics of Global Interest"

Project Description:

"Inspired by the Swiss Franc's (CHF) ambitious redesign process (the currency is thoroughly redesigned every 20 years by way of contest) The goal was to develop a similar updated iconographic system better representing the advancements and culture within the American society. 

This particular series plays on themes of human discovery and endeavors to connect achievement, theory and the fundamental properties of life. 

This is of course not a conspiracy to trivialize or shun the great deeds of the past, but to communicate principle rather than effigy permeating through the spirit of industrial, organic and elemental systems."
