<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1318851, member: 19065&quot;]How do we know the initial artists concepts didn&#039;t come from at least some onsite field study? Many of these designs are interpretive not realistic, and cartoonish from renderings that are passed through successive stages of designers to technicians converting 2D illustrations into nearly flat 3D works of coin design, after much filtering through (rather crude) rendering software. The designs are done by committee in the end with far too many hands and suggestions involved. The artists rendering do not necessarily posses medalic craft skills no more than do the technicians understand illustration techniques. The AIP is a great concept but it doesn&#039;t eliminate all these problems on the production end of modern US coin minting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
