Brief
To design and implement a series of three stamp packs for Royal Mail with a theme of fresh water life, focusing on ponds, lakes and rivers. The design had to work for all elements of the collectors pack, the carrier card, filler card and hand stamp.
Response
Although ponds, lakes and rivers have many similarities, the water movement of each differentiates their appearance. By combining the patterns made by water movement with a key species featured on the stamps, we created three beautiful illustrations; Glutinous Snails making the pond ripples, European Eels forming the lake waves and the Atlantic Salmon creating the river rapids. Inspired by the ‘Yin Yang’ the hand stamps were then designed to express a harmony between the species and it’s environment. Completed while at Jack Renwick Studio.
