Hattie Stewart
A key figure in contemporary sticker design is illustrator and designer Hattie Stewart; her work is often full of playful and exciting colours that are incredibly nostalgic, using cartoonish illustration styles and bubble typefaces. What I love about her work is how it celebrates traditional sticker designs, yet with a personal illustrative style that adds more of a contemporary feel. I would like to explore this with my publication through adding my own style to the sticker concepts; this would help make the final outcome feel more unique, but still referencing traditional elements of sticker designs.
Hattie Stewart has also created a sticker book herself, with a multitude of her own illustrations (I even have one on my own laptop). I really love how she sticks to specific colour palettes for each sticker sheet, as it provides a sense of consistency. Stewarts' work also feels very feminine; the soft colours juxtapose the actual illustrations, which creates quite an interesting visual outcome. I could also try and introduce this into my own publication by using feminine and childish colour palettes with serious messages.
