The first project of the new (academic) year: Postage Stamps.
The project itself is actually a negotiated brief, where we can choose from several different briefs provided by the RSA, and so I chose ‘Postage Stamps’. The idea of the brief is to create six new stamps that create awareness about the environment, and things that are and/or can be done to help the planet and conserve our energy resources. The initial presentation for it was yesterday, and so I’d say we’re a little under half way to the finishing point.
I like the idea I’m going with, but I’m not happy with the stamps design. I think I rushed them. But since the presentation I’ve come up with a new concept to work with, and I’m now currently working on these new designs. I’ve spent the majority of today playing in illustrator working on creating my own vectors for the designs. I’m getting there, but as always, it’s never as easy as it looks.
