Currency Redesign

A Fender-themed redesign of U.S. currency built as a full bill set with music-inspired details.

This concept reimagines U.S. currency through Fender-inspired visual language and music culture references. I designed a full bill set and companion poster in Illustrator, including microprint-style details, emblems, serial logic, and portrait treatment. The project focused on balancing expressive thematic elements with the precision of real banknote structure. I used hierarchy and pattern control to keep each denomination distinct but system-consistent. The outcome was a complete speculative currency system with strong thematic coherence.
