My favorite stamps

     

This stamp represents the design style of Bauhaus, which 

originated in the 1920s. The stamp represents this

particular style of design in its use of simplicity and color.

The stamp is very simple and unique. Bauhaus uses

different angles to project their single subjects on and 

that is what they did with this chair.

This stamp represents the design style of

post-modernism. It represents this particular

its creative use of animation and color. The

stamp shows use of only a few colors and

the face has been altered to give it an

animated look.

This stamp represents the design style of Art Deco. Art Deco

1920s and is known for its use of color, layers, and solidarity.

As you can see in this stamp, Art Deco uses many bright

colors, circular shapes, and layers to give it that signature

feel.
