Commemorative Stamp Essay

For the Commemorative Stamp project we had  to create a stamp design while focusing on a specific style of art. I choose to take a little bit of inspiration from two different art movements, those being Postmodernism and Art Nouveau. My stamp is a picture the Dallas Cowboys new Stadium that was built in 2009, and them being m favorite team, I decided to commemorate their new $1.3 Billion stadium. Which is the largest dome stadium in the world, and holds numerous records, including the worlds largest column free interior and it contains the worlds largest LED TV. The background of my stamp is a Football field, and I have the Stadium name and price of the stamp in type along the top. My stamp shows Postmodernism through some of the brighter colors, especially in the background, and it shows Art Nouveau through the flow and curving lines all throughout the piece, but especially in the Stadium. Art Nouveau is even present in the type that labels my stamp. I used more of a generic, boxy font for the price and country, so that it would look more authentic. I believe that my stamp shows off the new stadium nicely, in a simple yet stylistic approach. Sports fans and especially Dallas Cowboys fans should appreciate this stamp, along with anyone else who likes the art style.
