This competition was part of my foundation degree. I decided to create the set of 6 stamps based around the UK Firsts brief. My final stamps took one person/activity from each category: David Hempleman-Adams (Exploration – First man to fly a hot-air balloon over the North Pole), Sir George Cayley (Engineering – First manned flight), Sir Alec Jeffreys (Science – DNA Fingerprinting), Sir Edward Jenner (Medicine – First vaccination), Sir Tim Berners-Lee (Entertainment – World Wide Web) and Scotland (Sport – Golf) . I created the vector based designs with the overlaid image of the people/activity to create a contemporary and desirable set of stamps, which clearly depicted each achievement.
