Social Stamps

posted: 10 months ago

Send a letter and stamp it with a sense of humour!

This is the winning entry by Gary Hunt for the RSA student design awards 'postage stamps' category. Gary's aim is to encourage people to use snail mail by making his stamps interactive. Each stamp has a different illustrated head shot and you are left to draw the body of your character onto the envelop! 

"The brief was entitled 'social mail', and I believed through an injection of humour and interactivity that my stamps would allow people to share a joke, start a conversation and most importantly - have fun!"

                                                                                                                                           - Gary Hunt

These stamps are set not only to brighten up the life of the letter recipient but, the postie delivering them will get a giggle too!

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. Awesome, overnight hair rollers are back! (It's so 1985 all over again.) Only now they're available in different shades to, well, match your hair. Whatever. You'll look great in the morning.
  2. At a loss for Father's Day (16th June)? If he likes Burgers & Beer, Cheese & Ale or Steaks & Wine, then click here.
  3. Summering in England got you down? Relish in these weekend spots. You'll be putting in for a transfer to New York in no time.
  4. If you wish you lived in a luxurious, hip barns like we do, then you'll want to click here to find out about renting one for a self-catering holiday.
  5. We haven't exactly fact-checked this Abercrombie & Fitch slam, but we're certainly open to it (and think you should be, too).
