Rave culture stamps
This project was flexible & allowed you to choose a pathway you felt comfortable with & felt you could persue effectivley. These were the theme options we had to choose from for our Royal mail stamps:
-
Sir Terence Conran 1931–2020
-
Hammer Horror
-
Rave Culture
-
Penguin and Puffin Books
-
British Animation
-
British Design Pioneers
I chose Rave culture because i felt there were plenty of design aspects such as colours, patterns, faces & pictures to play around with.

Research
My main research focus was to get all the information going into my book was 100% correct & 100% clear what I was trying to represent. This is the reason I included diagrams & examples.
Royal Mail stamps: Final Outcomes
Below you can see a gallery of my final designs for the Royal mail stamps, these final pieces finally came after lots of drafts, brain storming & figuring out the clear message & direction i want this project to go. Which was a rave culture time line, these stamps were to act as a reminiscence or education tool. Each period of rave had to be thoroughly researched & put together with real structure to help best represent its era.
