stamp design
Miniature postage illustration
Stamp design refers to the artistic and technical process of creating the visual appearance of postage stamps, or to the finished artwork itself.
It encompasses imagery, typography, color choices, and denomination placement within the small format's constraints.
Stamp designs often commemorate historical events, honor notable figures, or showcase national symbols and cultural heritage.
The stamp design featured a portrait of the queen surrounded by native flowers.
Collectors frequently prize stamps for their design as much as their rarity.
