The brief requirements were to design five stamps and a publication with extended type. We had to pick an Irish theme for this project and I chose ‘Whistleblowers’ because it was a current topic and more people deserve to know these people and their stories. I chose five whistleblowers for each of the five stamps. My visual approach was to show words coming out through the bars of secrecy. I used a light to represent the whistleblowers shining a light on dark truths. I positioned the letters in front of and behind the bars to give the sense of the struggle it took to bring the information to full light.
