Pentagram Royal Mail Yearpack 2010
More commissions of work for the RM, producing a yearbook that contains first day covers for sets of stamps that were issued throughout the year. This is quite interesting to look at as part of our brief is to also create a first day cover. Although I knew what this was, in all honesty I'd never really looked into them, and I didn't realise how lovely some of them were.
This yearbook is a brilliant way of displaying memorable events in British history.
'The Yearpack reveals a miscellany of memorable events from British and world history, including famous births and deaths, unique achievements and philatelic anniversaries, all of which took place on each of the issue dates.
The front and back covers feature a typographic, abstract collage of dates and headlines. Inside the spreads take each issue date and create a typographic grid of stories and headlines of other events taking place on that day throughout history.'
