Assignment 10: Postage stamp triptych



I believe that the strongest technical aspect of my work was the first stamp, that involved repetition. I used the dodge, and burn tool to lighten, and darken different pictures of the superhero: the Green Arrow. I think that I could have improved on the typography stamp, and typed more.

The easiest part of the art Activity was the minimalism stamp, where I had to use only one picture. The most difficult part of the art activity was  finding good pictures of the Green Arrow to put on the stamps.

The objective of this art activity was to create a series of three multi-layered postage stamps that are visually connected by color and theme. I demonstrated the objective by using the color green, and pictures of the superhero the Green Arrow as my theme. I made a typography, repetition, and minimalism stamp. If I did this again, the only thing I would change would be the typography stamp.

  1. Nice job creating three stamps visually connected by theme and color. My favorite is the minimalist stamp on the bottom right. The diagonals lines in the bow add energy to the stamp. The varied repetition of the Green Archer on the top stamp works but the opacity of the one in the foreground should be stronger than the two in the background. All in all great work especially in a time crunch.
