Pay To Play

This was a project where we had to design a pound coin fora cash prize of £50 for first place, we had to follow a brief to design what was meant to be on the coin as a design, this was to express the current global finacial climate.

On the front of the pound coin, I chose to put a design of an iceberg with the water at the bottom to show that we are losing the ice around the world because of the climate, and on the back of the coin, I chose to put a design of the globe with flames coming out of it on the side. This shows that because of the climate change, we are slowing burning everything and getting rid of it due global warming.

With the colours, I chose to keep it simple with just having the coin as the goldcolour as it normally would be on a pound coin and have the deisgn in black.

I also made a little model which was the same size as a real pound coin, I tried to carve the image in it so that i wouldn't have to spoil the look of how a real coin would look, but it wasn't really visable, which meant I had to go over the outline in black. Above is the hand drawn version of the coin before I designed it digitally using photoshop.
