+PastorDIC Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Does anyone have a template or outlines for a geocoin in .jpg or .gif format? I'd like to get serious with drawing my design for my first geocoin. Quote Link to comment
Not So Lost Puppies Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 You mean a round circle?? How about a square or rectangle or oval? There isn't really any sort of template needed to do it. the basics is just a circle of any size you want since you can 'shrink' it to fit the end result. What sort of template are you looking for?

gridlox Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Actually, if your going to be hand drawing your design and will rely on the coin company to create the actual mint art, use a circle (square, oval, non-conventional shape, ...) that is as big as you can get it on a piece of typing(printer) paper. Then draw your design in the shape. This allows us artist to be able to clearly see what you are wanting on your design. If you draw them at actual size, then sometimes the details get lost in the process of getting your hand drawn image into digital format to send in an email. ("Especially" if it is a low resolution scan or picture took with a digital camera). One thing to remember is to not get too detailed. (The exception to this is if you are going to have a 3D image as part of your coin.) Remember, this design will have to be shrunk down to the finished size of the coin. If you have something small and hard to see in the design on the full page drawing, then it is more than likely not going to be able to be reproduced to be clearly seen on the finished coin.
