From the critique yesterday, my peers thought maybe the stamps don't work as well as a set with the poster and postcards because its much more graphical and the colour scheme contrasts to the poster/postcards. So I decided to make some adjustments to see what it'd look like if I had employed more of the things from my other works in the set:
Here I've changed the background colour to the same blue that I used in my postcards and made the shapes less graphic/clean to match with the painterly aesthetic of the postcards and poster. I decided to put everything together to see how they look as a whole:
I think changing the background colour to blue makes the stamps work better with the poster and postcards. Decided to experiment some more with the colour for the symbols:
Changed the yellow to the light blue of the glassware with bits of yellow. Here, the colours are more harmonious, and balances out the more bright/bold reds and oranges in the postcards and poster. However, I still prefer the yellow one as I feel like the light blue makes the stamps, on their own, look a little washed out - not as fun and active looking as the postcards and poster.
New stamps and some mini prints of my large scale work! :-)
