The production of medals for major sporting events is nearly always handled by the countries main coin mint. They are nearly always stamped for speed and cost efficiency- Could this be challenged?

The brief and proposal I created proposed a radical rethink of how medals could be made with design being the key feature. What followed was an intensive 15 month research project which looked at how a core team of 12 academics and technicians from GSA could create medals that would better represent the city of Glasgow and deign possibilities.
