graphic design • art direction
Digital color postmarks serve to commemorate a stamp's first day of issue and are prized within the philatelic community (stamp collectors, hobbyists, and historians). The goal with a DCP design is to capture the essence of the stamp's story and create an artistic accompaniment to the stamp itself. These freelance assignments are an absolute delight to work on. I especially enjoy the research that goes into learning about each stamp subject; and, being a bit of a snail mail nerd, I am humbled to contribute in some small way to the history of U.S. stamps.
