Use A Concept

Lick & Stick

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been busy moving, visiting babies, friends and such. Anyway, if you haven’t designed anything since school let out, um, shame on you! So here is another exercise for you straight from the book Caffeine for the Creative Mind, enjoy!

Postage stamps are a normal part of mail delivery. Someone has to pay to have it delivered, don’t they? Over the years, postage stamps have been designed to celebrate everything from events and happenings to people and animals. We love postage stamps so much, people even collect them. Today, you’re going to get a chance to design your own stamp, only with a twist. Today’s challenge is to create a stamp design for the following scenarios:

• Gerbils have overrun the White House
• Peanut Butter and Jelly was elected National Sandwich
• Orange is banned from nationally recognized colors
• Badminton overtakes Baseball as the National Pastime

Your stamp can be any shape or size, but must include a denomination.
