An Original Banknote

---

We all know that Steem is the native currency of the Steemit blockchain and it is also trade at different platforms. But, as per the requirements of the contest, we have to design a note for Steem if it were a physical currency. So, I have chosen to design the banknote with the help of the Canva platform. I am not very good in drawing so that I have chosen to design a banknote digitally.

Below are the steps to design the banknote. All the ideas that are used while designing the banknote are my own. Below is the step by step illustration of the designing with the help of the Canva platform. So, let's have a look.

Step 1: Selection of Size

First of all, I have selected the size of the banknote that I was going to design. On browsing about the size, I put the info and then a new window opened with the editor and all the required tools. You can see these steps in the above screenshots.

After the selection of the size, I started making the design. First of all, I add some good graphics at the right corner of the page. After adding the graphic, I uploaded the logo of Steem token and add it in the center of the page. These steps are shown below.

Adding Graphics and Adding Steem Logo

After that, I change the background colour of the page and turn it to the sea green which is actually the main colour of Steemit logo. I also added a vertical line of leaves which were looking very beautiful in the graphics on the left corner of the page. Then, I added a frame to the Steem logo. This logo is looking like a sun. These steps are shown below.

The colour of the background of the bank note was not looking very fair for me. So I changed the background colour and turned to black. I know, there are no black notes anywhere in the world but its unique, hehe. After changing the color, I added the text 5 Steem and some graphics on the note like blockchain logo, Series of Steem Steem Steem...

In the last step of the note creation, I added some more graphics in the right corner of the note because it was looking hollow. You can see the final results of the Front Side of banknote in the below picture.

After, designing the front side of the note, I started preparing the backside of the banknote. There was no more ideas in my mind so I took a break and then started again. The final results of the backside of the note that I have created is shown in the below picture.

Explanation of The Graphics and Elements

You have seen the overall design of the note that I have created. You can see that the main thing of that design is the Steem Logo. It is the main logo of the Steem Token. The blockchain logo which is used at upright corner of the note is representing that this currency belongs a Blockchain platform known as Steemit. Below it, the amount of the note is written which is actually 5 Steem.

On the backside of the note, there are different graphics that are used. The graphic is used which is representing the bank, the Steem tokens, the Steemit logo and the a person who is writing the blog. It is clearly written on the note that "Write 2 Earn". This phrase represents that the Steemit platform allow the users to monetize their writings and earn rewards in returns. So, these are some important meanings that I thought important to share with you guys.
