Stamp it!!!

Hi my name is Lorraine Breen aka Vis-Com Vixen, I'm studying Visual Communication in the Limerick School of Art and Design. This blog has been created for a specific purpose and that purpose is to document my progress with the projects given to me in my first semester as a graphic design student. 

The first project we have been given is a stamp design project.

The challenge is as follows...We have 'to design four stamps as a means of encouraging consumers to make positive environmental changes and educate future generations with regard to one of the following e.g.

• energy conservation
• low-impact transport
• reducing water over consumption
• Eco- friendly products
• Organic food

Conservation can involve any of the following;

• Ecosystems
• Fishing
• Forests
• Natural Resources
• Ozone depletion
• Pollution -Water, Air, Noise, Light
• Endangered Species
• Toxins
• Waste

The stamps would have to help change the mind set of the consumer and encourage them to undertake practical activities for the future and think of innovative ways to optimise energy and reduce waste in our day-to-day lives.

The stamp has to have a few key design elements, has to have a depth in and around 37mm has to include the price and the word Eire.

I'm looking forward to the challenge :)
