I have decided to pick the BAMS project for my brief, this trip was particularly useful for me as I have gained knowledge of how the mass production of coins is created but also how the designers create the designs large scale by hand carving the details in order to reproduce on a smaller scale.
it was fascinating seeing the massive scale of the production and the mint condition when first created.
i think it is important for me to consider the reproduction of my medal to insure I get consistency between my mock ups and my final bronze forms.
