How to design a medal? - Part B

Designing and Mocking Up Award Plaques

While designing the medals, it is important to consider the material, craftsmanship, and feel. Designing a surprise medal requires a combination of all the key factors. For example, wooden medals have to be designed in such a way as to avoid corrosion caused by excessive use of paints. At the same time, excellent hand feel provides a better experience, and the best balance of material, craftsmanship, size, and weight needs to be achieved.

1. Hand Sketching and Conceptualization

Medal designers first start with hand-drawn sketches to find inspiration for their medal designs. Medal sketches have an initial scale that includes materials, initial size, initial shape, and initial details. Some event planners also provide easy sketches.

The race director will always prefer more publicity, and the designer needs to be better considered. In addition to the sketches for the medals, there needs to be a better plan for the medal neck bands.

2. Digital Design

Taking the medals from sketches to fine detail requires a refined design through computers. The complete details of the medals are constructed through modeling, and the coloring and craftsmanship requirements of the medals are completed. Digital design allows you to see all the details of the medallion on the screen, size, thickness, color, and even 3D effects can be shown.

3. Drawing Feedback and Revision

A perfect drawing can complete the production of medals. When the designer and sales complete the medal design drawing confirmation, the customer needs to forward it for feedback.

?

After receiving the feedback and modification requirements from the customer, the designer will quickly complete the modification and submit it to the customer for confirmation. When the final artwork is confirmed, the production can be scheduled.

4. Design of Accessories

Custom neck ribbons for medals are an important part of the award design. In fact, the ribbon is an important promotional component. The planning team needed more places to promote the event, so they set their sights on the neckband. Similarly, the box was another promotional location they pursued.
