I chose to create the modern stamps collection because I wanted an alternative to generic designs that are commonly available on the market.

Both of my modern stamp designs draw upon pop culture and embrace a market segment that generic stamp designs fail to inspire.

Typography became an advantageous platform to create unique designs. Both of the designs are made purely out of font characters that have only been modified using rotation.

The minimalist design incorporates two question marks, one bracket and an X font character. I utilized the Mistral font throughout the design.

The advanced typography design features a portrait of a famous figure with an epic reputation. Thirteen different font styles were incorporated to create this striking portrait.

Fonts that were utilized include: Marlett, Sylfaen, Perpetua, Maiandra GD, Candara, Goudy Old Style, Lucida Handwriting, Century Gothic, Constantia, Harrington, Eccentric Std, Segoe Script and Plantagenet Cherokee.

After numerous revisions I was quite impressed with what I had created using a handful of fonts and their rotation.

The photo essay incorporates energy and purposeful framing of each scene to structure a robust narrative.

The first scene depicts a chase sequence between an intrepid undercover cop and a villain.

The second scene demonstrates the villain's failure to evade the undercover cop as he is tackled to the ground.

The third scene showcases the unbridled adrenaline that has taken over the undercover cop during the apprehension.

The fourth scene alludes to the uncertain future that awaits the villain in the narrative.

We were fortunate to make use of complementary weather because it offered extremely favorable lighting.

I was also impressed with my team members for articulating the energy of their characters so well in the scenes.
