This is the image I used for the basis of my designs. It is a topographical representation of the size of the hole in our ozone layer. I traced over this carefully with a pen tool to achieve the correct shape for the stamps.
I kept the dots for now but I altered the number and queen. Firstly the number was too overbearing on the stamp. Also the queens head must always appear at the top of the stamp and face inward towards the centre at all times...
Taking away the pattern has improved the overall design massively, this new clean look is much better, but I feel that I should have made this decision before I sat down to design. The colours appear much richer like this and really stand out against the white stamp.
I did a few more experiments with the background pattern to see of anything would look ok but at the end of the day the clean design wins hands down.
This second idea is winning me over at the moment because it is about something REAL. Its not some lame idea like the other one, suggesting something that no one will really listen too but it hammers a real life situation into the viewers face. I have to think about the suitability of the medium to deliver this message and maybe make the impact more subtle but then again, these stamps are suppose to be different and engaging.
