Money and finance as a symbol

Money can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. For entrepreneurs and business-owners - cash can be a symbol of wealth, prosperity and success, as well as a symbol of stability. For an artist or activist - bags of money can be used to represent the greed and excess of big business.

Money in Financial Writing

When money is used in financial writing, it can give your readers a sense of what they can do by using efficient planning and precise execution of their finances. Money doesn’t just represent itself physically, but is also representative of the imagined effects of wealth and the rich, stable life that good financial planning can bring.

A stunning photograph of a bag of cash or a stack of coins - for example - can have the effect of giving your reader a physical connection to the copy and help boost their level of excitement at the prospect of stability. It doesn’t just represent what good business-sense can bring, but the imagined effects of wealth and the rich, stable life that good financial planning can provide. It gives your readers a physical connection to the message of your writing and motivates them to read on. This makes our rich collection of images great for financial and business writing.

众所周知,艺术家也使用images of money as symbols for critiques of the obsession with wealth that’s so prevalent in society.

In fact - one his most famous pieces of art that used the imagery of currency, “200 one dollar bills” wassold for $43.8 million in 2009.

And in recent years, the financialisation of the global economy has inspired anincrease in art that uses money as an object of artistic expression.Uses range from the integration of the physical form of money (such as coins, bills and credit cards) into aesthetic works to sculptures, paintings, and even representative performance. There’s even been artists who’ve occupied themselves with the more concrete themes such as debt, economics, and the dynamics of the art market.
