The complex nature of the banknotes makes it harder to reproduce them and is in a way a security feature in itself. They tend to have a lot of textures within the design and this makes for a visually appealing look rather than using more conventional block coloured type and contrasting background.
A mixture of textures and potentially typefaces is something I want to include within my design to retain some of the complexity of current designs to ensure it couldn't be easily counterfeited.
Inspiration
Colours used in the wine advertisements above are soft and in a way neutral, they aren't too dark and dismal but also not too bright and overpowering, which potential use for a bank note seems like an appropriate idea.

| Josef Müller-Brockmann Piece |
Following on from the swiss designed advertisements from Studio JQ, I had a further look into swiss design as a whole. Reason being is that swiss design something that interests me personally due to it's use of shapes and colour combinations to create a clean and modern appearance.
This specific piece above, along with intaglio printing reminds me a lot of music and vinyl records more specifically.

| Vinyl Grooves Up Close |
This in turn sparked off an idea to create the design of my bank notes based around music, but more specifically the vinyl groove texture up close as shown above.
Seeing the Instagram post above from the creative studio twotimeselliott instantly gave me an idea to potentially incorporate some type into the bank note but as a design feature rather than a functional feature.
Possibly something similar to this below. Having the useful and correct information in bold to contrast with the slang terms for money in a lighter colour, could maybe make for an interesting visual along side other textures & type.
