지폐디자인의 세대분류 및 현대 지폐디자인 표현 특성 - 19개국의 사례비교를 중심으로

Abstract

I’ve focused on the entire layouts of banknote design of world to define generation of banknote design. And with the result of generation definition, I have identified characteristics of these days’ banknote design by analyzing nineteen couturies’ to make korean banknotes more suitable for a country’s major cultural contents. For the study, I have researched 289 countries’ banknotes from banknote archieve site and sort them by historical order. Banknotes are organized historically by 4 generations in design. I have defined 5 characteristics of banknote design of fourth generation from the leading banknote of swiss and netherland. They are variety of color, non-formal layout, ways of using lines, geometrical shape from anti-counterfeit device, cultural expression. I’ve analized nineteen conturies’ banknote design with these factor and apply to korean banknote design. Current banknotes of korea contains all the visual features of fourth banknote generation but there is no more obvious difference of layout since 1970s from when it first issued. As a country’s major public media and contents, next banknote design of korea should be more distinctive than that of current issued.
