The client needed medallions for an upcoming event. With their program in mind, we challenged ourselves to create samples and refine embossed and debossed concepts. We took this as a chance to further our research and development for award design.
First, we used die casting to form the medals from zinc. Through this process, we created a unique mold for these pieces, designed to achieve different depths and raised levels. Next, we electroplated the pieces in nickel and rose gold to signify separate achievements. We then filled in some areas with black enamel to create an intriguing contrast. Last, we applied a plain black finish to the back of the medallions for a sleek and refined look.
