| Notes: |
The challenge set out was that the words, which were to feature on the stamps, had to be represented in a typographic style that offered no suggestion of interpretation. To add visual interest and character to the words, type was letterpressed on soft woven stock with extra pressure giving an exaggerated debossed impression. The proofs were photographed with side lighting to bring out the texture and enhance the technique. Black and white linocut illustrations added a handcrafted quality, supporting the type in a very literal way, as anything conceptual would have been distracting. |
