RSA // STAMP BRIEF - INITIAL DESIGNS

FIRST IDEA: MY FIRST IDEA WAS TO CREATE A GLOBAL WARMING STAMP. I WANTED THE BACKGROUND TO LOOK QUITE COLD AND THEN I WANTED THE BEAR TO BE PORTRAYED AS HEAT - SO I USED GRADIENTS SO IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE BEAR IS 'WARMING UP' AND HOPEFULLY THAT REPRESENTS THE GLOBAL WARMING THEME.

I QUITE LIKE THIS DESIGN AND FEEL IF I KEPT IT THIS SIMPLE THEN I COULD MAYBE USE IT AS A LOGO OR AS A SIMPLE POSTER DESIGN. I THINK THE BACKGROUND AND BEAR STAND OUT BECAUSE OF CONTRASTING COLOURS AND THE USE OF GRADIENTS ON THE IMAGE WORKS WELL AND ALLOWS THE IMAGE TO LOOK QUITE PROFESSIONAL. 

I USED THIS BEAR TO THEN PLACE INTO A STAMP DESIGN. THE USE OF CREATING A CICLE LIKE THE EARCTH CAM EFORM MY DESIGN SHEETS. THE USE OF CREATING OVERLAYS SUCH AS THE WHITE REPRESENTS THE GREENHOUSE GAS THATS HEATING UP THE WORLD.

I STARTED TO CREATE A NEW DESIGN ABOUT BEING ECO FRIENDLY AND TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS. I USED TEXTURES ONCE AGAIN BUT FEEL THAT THE DESIGN LOOKS QUITE CHILDISH AND UNPROFESSIONAL. THE IDEA ID THAT AT NIGHT YOU NEED TO TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS. THE USE OF HAVING A LIGHT BACKGROUND. 

STAMP OUTLINE  ->  37 X37 

I THOUGHT THIS SIZE WOULD SUITE MY DESIGNS QUITE WELL. AS I WOULD LIKE TO FIT THE CIRCLE SHAPE INSIDE THE STAMP OUTLINE SO THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH ROOM TO FIT THE AMOUT OF DETAIL I WISH TO PUT IN.
