Week 12: Deadline Day For Stamp Collection
I successfully managed to come up with 2 new designs to replace the others and also improve another one which was some random factories but is now a specific mill, Sir Richard Arkwright's first one in Cromford, Derbyshire. Even though I had sent off for the original stamps to be printed, they were only cheap so I decided to reprint the stamps onto plain sticker sheets with perforated edges which they didn't have before. I also made changes to all of the stamps by adding a tiny bit of info about the image on each stamp and I also made the silver a little darker throughout the collection as I showed it to a few people before and they all thought the light silver was white. I am really pleased with the final design of the collection and I'm glad I made the changes as I think it has improved the whole collection dramatically.
