Imagining a New Currency

One visual language, from banknote to screen.

A concept for a digital-first currency. I defined one visual language and interaction model across banknotes, identity, a debit-style card, animations, a website and a compact device.

Role

UX/UI, Brand and Motion Designer

Type

Concept project

Year

2021

Website built with

HTML, CSS and Bootstrap

Campaign poster for the currency with the headline New Dawn Upon Us over a sunrise and waves

Challenge

Imagine a digital-first currency ecosystem in which banknotes, a card and a device feel like one system.

What I did

Designed the banknote series and coin marks, a brand system with color and type tokens, a debit-style card, a promo poster with micro-animations, a responsive website and a device concept with UI mocks and transaction flows.

Outcome

A cohesive, futuristic brand that connects physical currency with digital transactions. The website and animations tell the story, and the device concept and flows give a concrete way to evaluate interaction without a traditional screen.

Skills and tools

Banknote design

Brand system

Motion design

Interaction design

Responsive web

HTML, CSS, Bootstrap

Banknotes

Sunrise over the waves

Every note and coin mark carries a sunrise over the waves, with textures and gradients refined for e-ink displays.

Brand

One language, from poster to card

Logos, color and type tokens and a debit-style card share one system, and micro-animations reveal the poster and the card.

What the system covers

Identity

Logos and tokens

Logos, color and type tokens shared by every piece.

Motion

Reveals that explain

Micro-animations reveal the poster and the debit-style card.

Web

A site for the system

A responsive website presents the system, built with HTML, CSS and Bootstrap.

Interaction

Credits without a traditional screen

A compact device manages credits with a trackpad and a projector. UI mocks and transaction flow sketches made the interaction patterns concrete enough to evaluate.
