On receiving the project title I first decided to go and look at what had gone before to see how design had progressed throughout stamp life and to see if there was any obvious improvements and so forth. In this picture from my graphics folder there are various stamps that I found interesting and visually pleasing. I also looked at other 'green' or environmentally friendly stamp designs that had already been released which looked lie they conveyed their message well. The USA go green collection were the best stamps I found as research for our project title as they convey simplicity along with a strong message
Here are some more stamps that I found while researching, various shapes and sizes are available. The one of Jackson Pollock shows design changes from original picture to how the stamp was printed.
Our class received a lecture from painter and stamp designer Susan Sex, she designed the wildflower collection for an post years ago. She was very knowledgable about stamp design and offered us advice in our own work.
I rummaged around my house to see if I could find any old stamps or to see if my parents were secret
philatelists. I managed to scape a few together and I researched some designers and history behind some of the more appealing stamps.
