In their book "Designing Visual Interfaces" (which is something of a classic in its field) Mullett and Sano use that series of Guilder notes as an example of good grid-based design used to establish a coherent program.
One your website they all look the same size, though. Is this correct? If so it's not very helpful for visually-impaired people, who need different sizes so they can tell one note from another. This was always a criticism of dollar bills too, iirc. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Lucas Rijnders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 April 2006 19:19 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Funny money > > On Tue, 25 Apr 2006 19:20:23 +0200, graywolf > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I received one of those new tens as change yesterday.
