This article highlights the benefits of both 2D and 3D designs:
The 2D design
2D designs are made by raising one level above the base surface. This helps in creating the edges and the recesses, which form the best flat images. The metal edges can be made in a variety of color contrasts. The ease of adding colors of contrasts is the greatest benefit why people prefer to use these designs. There are solid edges and lines on the coins, where you can easily add precise colors. The logos, flags or iconic color contrasts get imprinted on the coin pretty well.
The benefits
- Simple yet impactful designs can be made
- Design elements can be made very distinct even on smaller coins
- Options of rich colors and contrasts are available
- Essential customizations can be easily done
- Looks great in high polished plating options
The 3D design
3D designs offer endless possibilities of raised and recessed details. It allows clear formation of sculpted images and rounded edges on the coins with more realistic depths. The best way to start the design of the coin is by approaching it with a photograph or a realistic image. This can then have layered textures like statues, emblems, mascots, or buildings. The coins might have colors but they need more planning and must be subtle.
The benefits
- The designs can be more realistic and detailed
- Layers can be featured easily which was not possible in 2D
- The right feel of the coin in terms of size, shape, edges and surfaces can be perfectly captured
- For making the surface more antique, you can easily go with rounded curves and shapes. This can also create great shadows and shades
