Persons of Note- Artist research

Whilst developing my images I've had an idea in my mind, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it used before, until I revisited the slides from the briefing and found this.

Although I couldn't find out who made them, through some research I discovered they were made in Poland in the 1960's.

I think the style would work well with my images too, as this is artwork which was definitely around during Turing's lifetime, and possesses a timeless feel.

I dealt like the cohesive but contrasting colours between the set, and I would love to be able to create a colour scheme for mine which works just as well.

I also really like the negative space, which I feel shows the unknown in space travel, and although mine will represent the hole punches of the code breakers, I suppose the same holds true, as they never really knew what that small negative spec would lead too.

I think the design and layout on these stamps works incredibly well, and I think I will need to spend quite a bit of time reflecting on my designs so that they work just as well compositionally.
