Stamp Project, Step 2

These 3 stamps are my favorite.
             - The first and second stamps are done in an art deco style.
             - The images are almost all straight lines, and would read flat without the subtle tonal differences in the monochromatic color palette. 
             - The portrait page layout on the first stamp gives a little more emphasis and power to the vertical lines, and the design is strong and formal (symmetrical).
             - The second stamp has prodiminently horizontal lines for a more calm look, and is asymetrical.
             - As for the informational qualities, few can be observed on these particular stamps, but USA was the country of origin on the first. The second was made in Austria.
             - The third stamp is oviously a bauhaus style.
             - Unlike the other stamps, this piece has highly contrasting color palate.
             - This stamp is grid aligned, like the others, but the white circle stands out and adds a slight organic line, and the tilited black shapes add a little more energy to the stamp.
             - The design is asymmetrical, but the typographical elements being read vertically add a 'grounding' effect to unify the design as a whole.
             - The informational qualities inform us that the third stamp was made in Germany.
