Stamp design

Hat-trick Design (http://www.hat-trickdesign.co.uk) used hand drawn type combined with photography to create a distinctive range of Royal Mail stamps to commemorate 50 years of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Insertion is used for the different styles of type making the stamps look casual and engaging, with the words flowing around the images. The black and white colour scheme adds to the intensity of the designs.
