This project flexed my ability to combine simple illustrations with aspects of the culture I grew up in. I took a lot of insperation from the cenery of Honolulu, as well as a diverse range of difrent types of foreign currency. With a paradise/tropical island concept forming in front of me I made the decision to create outlined graphics for four animals found on or around the Hawaiian islands. These graphics would be the centerpiece of each bill, and the background would be filled by pictures of famous landmarks located in honolulu.

Giving my bills a money like texture would lift the authentisity of the design, so I developed a simple pattern made with waving lines stacked on top of one another. This gave my bills a sence of realism, and nicley overlayed ther contents to level out the readability. Using simple graphics, and matching them with vibrant colors created a tropical theme for a set of currency witch would acsent Honolulu imparativley.
