Stamp 1 Evaluation

For my first stamp, I had chosen to do a Brazilian footballer (Hulk) who plays for the Brazilian national team and for the Olympic team, he competed in the London 2012 Olympics, and will most probably be picked to represent Brazil in their home country at the Olympics in 2016. Beneath him I have traced over the Rio 2016 logo, I have chosen to do this as it will relate to the brief as well as having a footballer as the focal point of my image as it is showing a player who has played for the Brazil national team and I have used the Olympic logo as it will advertise the Olympics which was the main part of the brief. Football is a huge part of peoples lives in Brazil as they will have played it from a very young age, in the favelas, there would be small football pitches where young kids would play football and watch football. For my background I have used an oval shape and transformed it so that it makes a kind of swirl shape, I used a gradient for the colour of my oval and used three colours; blue, green and yellow, I chose these colours as they are the colours of the Brazilian flag, I have stated why these colours are in the Brazilian flag in my contextual research on my blog. On the bottom of my stamp, I have placed the Rio 2016 text on top of a banner sort shape which I created and made fit in with the swirl of my background by using the transform and twist tools in the style of Pablo Jeffer Da Silva which is the Illustrator from Brazil which we have been focusing on and recreating his techniques in the. I think that my first stamp relates to the brief well and I am happy with how it looks.
