Stamp 2 Evaluation

For my second stamp I didn’t have a focal point in mind when creating what I had planned but I was sticking to the same them of having a gradient background which had a free transformed shape, to make it look unique and give it the same style as Pablo Jeffer Da Silva. I had chosen to do this on all four of my stamps but change the shape and way that the shape is transformed to give each stamp a unique look. However after it had been created I chose to make the focal point for my second stamp would be my recreation of “Christ The Redeemer” I think this as I have tried to give the effect that the religious statue is looking over the rest of my image, I chose the Redeemer over other famous landmarks in Brazil as it is one of the largest and iconic out of the many that are in Brazil, when people think of Brazil people would think of the Redeemer statue as it is visited by many tourists who visit there. It is so iconic as it symbolises the religion of Brazil which most of the population is (Christian) the religion of Brazil is such a large part of the culture in Brazil which is another reason I had chosen to have this landmark in my image. I used a Lens Flare to give the effect of a light beaming from behind the Redeemers shoulder, this relates to the brief as it is including the landmarks of Brazil, I used three of the many famous landmarks that are in Brazil. By doing this it is showing that  it is relating to the brief by using my research of Brazil and the Landmarks in my stamps. I have included the “Mineirão” which is the largest stadium in Brazil, and will most probably be used for the football games played in the 2016 Olympics, I also chose to use this stadium over the others in Brazil as it has hosted the Confederations cup in 2013 and will host some matches in the 2014 World Cup, I have again included a background using a gradient with the Brazilian national colours which relates to the brief by incorporating a technique used by Pablo Jeffer da Silva who is the artist we have been focusing on throughout this brief.
