Project Photograph: Binghamton, Ny. Church

Final Draft


I used many design principles in my design for this stamp. First, I used a good amount of negative space to make the image more appealing and to have the building itself pop out more from the page. I overlaid the typography I chose on top of this white space to make some high contrast between the black and white, as well as doing the opposite for the bottom. As for the church, I changed the color scheme to portay warmth by making the bricks a more intense red, while keeping the windeows a cool blue for even more contrast within the image. The scale of the building is very large and takes up most of the space because I wanted it to be the obvious focal point. The depth and weight of the stamp begins and the bottom and works it's way up, leading the eye around to the price.


The purpose of this project was to commemorate a well known landmark in our area and I think this stamp portrays thte First Presbeterian Church very well. The style of New York Modernism gives it an epic and high status feel of importance, and the angle I photographed it at furthers this view. Overall I am quite pleased with the finished project.
