Stamps
The creation of the Four-City Stamp Series was a captivating journey that began with the idea of capturing each city's essence through hand-drawn sketches. These initial illustrations laid the foundation for creative exploration, as they were transformed into precise vector graphics in Illustrator, bringing to life the unique spirit of each city.
For New York, we drew inspiration from Art Deco design, using burnt orange hues to echo the vibrant energy and iconic signage of the city. Seattle's stamps featured the luminous tones of Lucida Fax, capturing its misty landscapes and cool teal watersides. Boston's stamps relied on Haettenschweiler in deep navy to reflect its rich heritage and academic traditions. San Francisco came alive with Berlin Sans FB Demi in warm reds and pinks, evoking the warmth of the Golden Gate Bridge and the city's eclectic character.
All four stamps share a consistent grid system, ensuring a unified aesthetic while allowing each city's unique personality to shine through. Together, they form a cohesive collection that tells the story of each city, offering a visual representation of their distinctiveness yet maintaining an elegant unity.
