Postage Stamp

STAMP ART ASSIGNMENT:
Using Photoshop, you will make either a stamp, or an information graphic or an appropriation-art poster. (The assignment options reflect various levels of difficulty based
on your level of capability with Photoshop.

DUE END of CLASS LAB 8

Your stamp can be very free style or quite

formal. It must have a country name on it — real or imaginary — and a price, with or
without units. And it should have a shape that lends itself to printing in blocks. (Usually rectangular, but sometimes triangular, etc.)
You can either make a single stamp, or a block.
Stamps are small. Since this is an exercise, it is recommended that you work at a
comfortable size, and then shrink the results as needed. Remember that the actual
size for printing from a digital file is different from the size on a computer screen.
For a single stamp: 600 x 600 pixel file. RGB Color. Transparent Background. .PSD
format. Save a .jpeg copy for uploading to portfolio site.
