£20 NOTE ANALYSIS

In summary the points taken from the analysis of our bank note is it semantically represents a celebration of Winston Churchill and the U.K using some of our most popular landmarks, such as Westminister and Big Ben. But this was not done randomally. The images and designs picked for the note are directly affiliated with Churchill in some way shape or form. The use of the Blenheim maze is not just a security design measure but it is also where he was born. The design is relative to the person portrayed in the note, and really does focus on executing a sense of Britishness to it’s design whilst still keeping with the traditions of the previous £5 design. However the design in comparison to it’s predecessors has been increased in saturation. Still keeping with the original demonination colours of blue and green. This analysis is crucial to producing an upgraded version of our £20 note, as the same design process shall be adopted, it is the content which shall be changed.

From a design prospective the new banknotes for the U.K are beautifully executed. They have adapted to the current design trends, through the use of technology. As a design it is much more refined, it’s cleaner, more minimal and sophisticated. The combination of colours, introducing a better transition between gradients delivers a sense of harmony in it’s design. This style shall be applied to my bank note.
