Fiat Can’t Save You Now
Poster and DL Brochure Design
Adobe Illustrator • social awareness • fiat currency • hyperinflation • learning
This project explored communication design within a social and economic context. While studying aspects of the economy, I became interested in the role that fiat currency plays in our society and how individuals navigate financial systems beyond traditional money, including the use of precious metals. I chose to translate these ideas into a fiat currency awareness poster and an informative double-sided DL brochure designed to spark curiosity and encourage further learning.
The colour palette uses bold, money-familiar tones to match the serious and grounded nature of the topic. My aim was to create visuals that feel direct and impactful, reflecting the weight that currency, stability and financial literacy hold in everyday life. The poster and brochure work together to communicate key ideas in a clear and accessible way while maintaining a cohesive visual identity.
This project strengthened my skills in social messaging, information hierarchy and the ability to express complex concepts through design in a way that remains approachable and engaging.
