My Stamp
In this stamp, I made a personal logo of a coffee cup, cutting out the negative space to outline the positive space. First, let me explain what positive and negative space are. Positive space is any space in a picture where there is something, it's your subject. Negative space is the opposite, the space where there is nothing. It outlines the positive space, the way it forms my coffee cup.
This project was done over the course of a few days. The first day, I was told to come up with a list of words to describe me, then to research and brainstorm image ideas for this stamp. This stamp represents me as a coffee-lover. I think that coffee seems to represent me, because some people like me and others don't, but the ones who like me appreciate me a lot. It also represents me as a barista, a job that I love.
After brainstorming, I sketched my design. My first idea was too small at first, so I had to blow it up a bit. That's how I came up with this idea. I made my coffee cup bigger and added some steam coming off of it. Then, I cut out the negative space of my design on construction paper using an exacto knife. Finally, I glued my negative space onto a piece of pink construction paper and glued the whole thing into my sketchbook.
