Mail is so old, it's time to pay homage. Pick a country, take a photo, engage your design aesthetic. Show us an original design for a postage stamp.

In another thread I suggested a 160px maximum (same as the "regular" minimum) and a 90px minimum, but 120px would be OK. It makes no sense to do this one larger ...

Ideally there could be a DPC template or script to automatically add the perforation marks as a border so that people can devote all the available pixels to the image -- making entries have exact dimensions might facilitate that ...

Better hope that if this gets scheduled it isn't cancelled later.

I have a special room set aside just for forum participation, my very own post office ... :-(

This challenge should appeal to both mails and femails.

Normally, I'm all about Art's unique sense of humor. But, brother, that was just painful.

You would have to be certifiable to enter, it would envelope the time of a registered user, might get some first class entries... stop it!

Are you saying he's a good male boxer?

And I suppose you all want to express your opinion that having Langdon address this issue immediately (the first-day!) is your priority. You may now form a line to your left ...

Langdon may be a femail impersonator.

Aw dang.just like with men, all the good puns are taken :-(

Sounds like fun though, bet everyone's off googling really old-looking fonts! :-)

Can it be any country even if you don't live there?? For example can you take a beach photo in Florida and then create a stamp for say Bermuda? If not I guess we will have a lot of stamps from the U.S.

It says to pick a country, nothing at all about only being US in you're American etc. By all means do beach pix in Florida and make a Bermuda stamp, if that tickles your fancy :-)

Notice the challenge doesn't even specify it must be a real country. It could be fictional, yes?

I would LOVE to be able to do a fictitious country! Imagine what kind of stamps would come from Middle Earth :-)
