Publishing lesson review 16/10/09

During this lesson we went to the postal museum in Bath in order to learn things about postal topics such as stamps, due to the fact that our next project is to create 6 stamps based on Bath as a city. Wewere spoken to about the history of mail and how it all started, for example that royal mail was the only legal postal service from certain times.

The designs of some of the stamps that were in the postal museum were inspiring and made a good influence on what i wanted to do for my stamps, such as flower stamps that were there, the way the stamps were only taking up part of the flower image was a good idea and the bright colours that were used brought out the image of the stamp and made more of an appeal to me.
