For the first design, I decided to make a combination of the most iconic buildings in Kidderminster. I went for a simple geometric design so it would still be recognisable when small but also be powerful when blown up big. 

I feel like the composition of this design is really interesting as it gives each building its own place but also comes together as a whole summing up Kidderminster. 

i asked some people from home their opinions on it and they could all name all of the buildings just from a sketch. 

To represent the wyre forest, I decided to do a snippet of the woods, keeping with the geometrical style. I wanted to have a lot of layers like I did with the mixture of buildings to keep some consistency within the stamps. as I am planning on having a black background on the stamps I made it at nighttime to keep with the theme. 

I wanted to include the seven valley in the stamp design as it brings a lot of people into the town, as these stamps are a kind of promotional material for the town and are recognisable to a lot of people, I thought it would work well for promotion.
