Smokey Bear stamps

 Smokey Bear stamps

 Smokey Bear was a character created by Harry L. Rossoll in order to spread awareness about wildfires to children. His character has been printed on a multitude of items, including stickers and stamps; I really love the light hearted nature of these illustrations, as it showcases how cartoons and stickers can discuss important issues from politics to fire safety. 

I think the main interesting thing about these stamps is how they have a very collective identity to them; each stamp shows a different image and message, which kind of works as a way of story telling. I could definitely take inspiration from this through communicating a story through my publication design, and celebrating the lighthearted and interactive nature of stickers. The main intention with the final outcome us to express the individuality that stickers provide, as well as translating the fun nature showcased in stamps such as Smokey Bear.
