Project 10: Stamp design

This is a project on stamps design featuring iconic places of singapore, i am going to design 5 different designs of stamps ranging from 10 cents to 50 cents using images that i have took with my dslr. The iconic places that i will be using are esplanade, merlion park, clarke quay, marina bay sands and singapore flyer. 

So to get started, i dragged a image that i have took into the photoshop.

There inside the photoshop, i do some edits onto the image, first i invert the image then desaturated it, so that it will give me a "pencil drawing feel" towards it. 

Then i added in words like "Singapore" and "10 cents" onto the design.

It's time to make a outer layout for the design to make it look like a stamp so i created a vector mask inside the photoshop to create a outer stamp shape.

After creating the outer stamp design, i dragged my existing stamp design into the inner black layer of the outer stamp design and fitted it accordingly to create my final stamp design.

Lastly, i used the same methods for the remaining 4 stamp designs and this is how all of them looked like in the end.
