I took a slightly unorthodox approach to this project, instead of a city I chose my favorite musical artist, Kanye West, and made the stamps based off the aesthetic and color scheme of his albums/discography .
Starting with the top right, these represent Kanyes two debut albums College dropout and Late registration. The color palette is a warm analogous with shades of red, yellow and orange, to match the album covers. I included the coordinates of Chicago, Kanye’s hometown, as well as his birth year. Moving on to the top right, this contrasted red and green color scheme has the same palette as Ye’s groundbreaking album “my beautiful dark twisted fantasy” as well as the iconic “808s and heartbreaks” broken heart image. I tried to align the images into a congruent pattern. The bottom left represents Kanye’s newest releases, The life of Pablo and Donda. The orange tint and Helvetica font are directly taken from these respective colors. And finally, the bottom left stamp has Kanye’s signature glasses from his “Graduation” era. I like the grunge pattern and vibrant reflective color scheme. I feel the weakest stamp is probably the top left, there isn’t really a clear focus point and the tones are kind of muddled and boring. This was a fun project and paired up well with the type Tetris lab as well as Figma knowledge as a whole.
