THIS kind of money in real life would make me happy.

I can't decide if you're making a sarcastic statement about money appearing to make one happy, or actually portraying the feeling of happiness equalling money. The choice of green and the title plus that being the obvious would indicate the former, but the fact that the notes look so cute imprints in my mind: money! happy! So I guess even if you are making a statement against "the insidious nature of the way we think about money", your design can't help but persuade in the same way as advertisements, by combining something to sell with a feel-good image; whether you mean to have this effect or not.



Um, I have no idea if any of what I have said makes sense. Please tell me what you were thinking when you designed this, as I am interested :)

I'm really happy that someone actually thinks before writes a comment, instead of just saying something mean and useless.



Now..when I've designed this, my intention was to show a feel-good image, as you mentioned, in a sarcastic/cute way.



Thanks for your comment!

I love it. It might go over better with just one bill in the middle with the quote. Resub!
