Mark Pasquino, Project 2

Photoshop, 10/27/08


My stamp design is based on the Western Broome Veterans Memorial and Wall of Heroes located in Endicott across the street from the Union Endicott High School. I used the International Typographic Style for my main design style, which is very evident on the upper right corner of the stamp with the military emblems. I used a grain texture for most of the stamp design because it had the appearance of an actual stamp without taking away the visibility of the images. The three images on the bottom of the stamp are paintings of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The image at the top left of the stamp is the memorial sign located at the front of the monument. The five images at the top left of the stamp are emblems for the United States Marine Corps, the United States Coast Guard, the United Army, the United States Navy, and the United States Air Force. The background behind the emblems is the surface of a World War II airplane created in photoshop. It's been modified with a grain texture.
