fiat money


fiat money poster. i tried doing this poster last semester, but it didn't quite work out so i'm revisiting this idea, but doing a different design.  

fiat money means that money is worthless, it has no tangible worth. it's worth is based on the demand for it. 

this poster explores how our money has become fiat money. 

through the many years of government spending and borrowing, the dollar has become less valuable. when the Fed prints more money, which they often do when there is a war or whenever the government needs it, it allows more money to be circulated in the economy. when this happens, the prices of goods/services goes up. consequently, the dollar's value is lessened relative to its buying  power of goods/services. 

anyway...i like the look of the poster so far, but i haven't really figured out how i can place my explanation of the poster. 

still working on it...

looks good.

cannot read the type in this format.

your explanation above is more clear than the one accompanying this poster.

it seems the more you research, the better able you are to say in simple language what is going on.

whatever your method, stick with it.

it's coming along.

i know this topic is tedious.

but, you're sounding smarter and smarter and your graphics are looking better and better.

so, please have faith in the process.

you're getting there.

fast!!
