I'm half way through my first week of Visual Communication Design. Our brief is to create 4 postage stamps which encourage or promote energy conservation, or bring attention to any environmental issue. I made a mindmap of all the issues I could think of and then began to research the ones I found most interesting. Global warming, habitat destruction, light pollution, species extinction, ways to conserve energy, illegal dumping, renewable energy.. the list is endless!
I went home and found my Dads old stamp collection and had a look through these for inspiration and research into the idea of a postage stamp. It was hard to find one that had a concept behind it, as a poster or advertisment would. They mostly marked an occasion or event such as an Olympics, or illustrated a type of animal or transport.
I put together a collage of the ones I found most interesting.
These are ones I thought would be inspiration for the theme of the brief.
