Surprising: Will Idan Amedi Feature on a New 70 Shekel Bill?
Graphic design students in Be'er Sheva created a banknote featuring Idan Amedi for a Bank of Israel competition. Here's why.
Will we soon see Idan Amedi on a new 70 Shekel bill? While it's an impressive idea, it remains a 'dream' created by graphic design students at "Yotzer Atid" High School in Be'er Sheva. The students designed the 70 Shekel note as part of a Bank of Israel design competition, celebrating its 70th 'birthday'.
The students chose Idan Amedi for the note because they believe he embodies the spirit of resilience and triumph of the Israeli people, having returned to the stage despite fighting and being injured in Gaza.
On the bill, the students placed the word 'Superman' and chose a purple shade to symbolize the power and unity of the 'Chosen People'. They also designed the special bill with white flowers to add hope and a new path to peace. "The task required the students not only to have technical talent but also a deep understanding of values and symbols," said the department coordinator, Shlomit Amzalag. "They succeeded in creating a design that conveys a powerful message of resilience, unity, and hope."
School principal Meir Even Shmuel added, "We educate our students to think critically, to dare and create from a personal and emotional connection. The work on the bill is an excellent example of combining innovation, professionalism, and profound messages."
