STAMP IT // DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

For my set of stamps I wanted to keep the message simple and clear so I went for the reduce, reuse recycle concept. I have played on the users guilt with the stasmps. I incorporated mirrors into the stamps stating that its "your responsibility for the planets future" I think this has a strong impact. I aimed the stamps and the younger generations I wanted to use strong colours to draw you in and I feel the mirrored aspect is eye catching too.

I started off creating the green and purple set of stamps firstly. I chose green and purple as green symbolizes nature and recycling and purple is royalty and wisdom which I think represents the message.

The stamps work as a series so the mirror spreads

across all 4 stamps.

This is the message I am trying to communicate.

 I experimented making patterned backgrounds that correspond to

each message.

Type experiment - I thought the white would break the image up a bit but I 

think it just ruins the stamp.

 

 

I looked at using wisdom script for the smaller font

but I figured at a small scale this would be

illegible.

 Here is my final idea for this set of stamps. I think the type reads well

I changed the 2nd font to helvetica as this is the most legible font

I feel.

Stamp Booklet

 I experimented making the booklet. I tried mixing some shapes up

with the type but it didn't work well. I didn't have enough room

to do what I intended.

This is the final design for this set of stamps. It is simple

and works well with the stamps.

For my next set of stamps I decided to put individual mirrors 

on each of the stamps to see if the message was communicated

any better. I think overall these stamps do work better.

They are allot more eye-catching and interesting to look at.

I like how these stamps look. They are easy to read and

eye-catching

 I decided to play around with the colours as all the stamps look pretty similar.

I think this works well. I have included the price in these too.

I tried the purple and green combo. In a few shades and found this one

worked best and was easiest to read

 The type is quite difficult to read on the darker

purple background

Booklet

I tried keeping everything in series so the booklet is 

in the same style and colour scheme I will print

these on a satin finish to give them a professional

quality.
