Initial Digital Designs for African Franc
My initial designs I looked to replicate the general layout of the Dutch Guilder 25 pound note. The number stood out to me as it used two very distinct characters 2 and 5 this would stand out from the typical 10 and 100 notes. This grid system is extremely clear and allows for clear readable numbers as well as lots of space for illustrations, type and other imagery. I have also typeset each of the 54 African countries in a rectangle alignment. This was very difficult to get the spacing right and with the limitations of type size for screen printing being around 10 to 8 pt I needed to keep the type as large as possible considering the space limitations.
