I LOVE THAT SHAWL!
Anyone with a website has this dilemma. The most successful websites know it and thus solve it beautifully. The worst websites are ignorant of the problem. Be the former. Design your information…..successfully.

The winning design of The Dollar ReDe$ign Project. Beautiful! And just as in all successful design there is deliberate rational for every design decision made — from the vertical orientation to the imagery for each bank note.
Why these designs?
We wanted a concept behind the imagery so that the image directly relates to the value of each note. We also wanted the notes to be educational, not only for those living in America but visitors as well. Each note uses a black and white image depicting a particular aspect of American history and culture. They are then overprinted with informational graphics or a pattern relating to that particular image.
- $1 – The first African American president
- $5 – The five biggest native American tribes
- $10 – The bill of rights, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution
- $20 – 20th Century America
- $50 – The 50 States of America
- $100 – The first 100 days of President Franklin Roosevelt. During this time he led the congress to pass more important legislations than most presidents pass in their entire term. This helped fight the economic crises at the time of the great depression. Ever since, every new president has been judged on how well they have done during the first 100 days of their term.

Thoughts from the K-3 artist:
One World One God
I wish religious harmony for the world. We all are equal under one God! Our world will be a better place, if we love and respect each other irrespective of our religion. With respectful coexistence of different religions, peace will prevail in the world.

From the artist:
I believe it expresses music, specifically the act of playing music because its sheet music. I believe more people in the world should learn to play music.
“Design is not about what I feel or about my view of the world… Rather, design is more about effectively articulating someone else’s view of something. It’s about following specific criteria within specific (and unspecified) constraints to produce specific results…”
