1981 British Stamps Queen Elizabeth II 50th Anniversary National Trust for Scotland:
Series of 5, i picked my 2 favorites:
I love the stylized illustrations and the colorful silhouettes.
****
Collection of Stamps illustrating the British Textiles company from 1982.
I love the colorful nature of these stamps, they are print orientated with a simple stylized contrasting border still incorporating all the noticeable features of the British stamp including the Queen's head and the stamp value. And it still has space to detail the work in the background.

| I find this stamp quite interesting as only recently we had a lecture on William Morris and his effect on design. This stamp features one of his many wallpaper designs. |
 |
| My favorite of the collection; I love the color scheme of the red and the blue. The simple pattern almost similar to mushrooms. It's very simple but its colorful nature would attract the users attention to this stamp on the envelope therefore I feel it is a successful stamp design. |
 |
| Like the geometric pattern and the color scheme = both factors make it very eye catching and successful as a stamp design. |
