Often times, stamps' subject matters include famous people, so for this stamp, I decided to use the iconic figure, Elvis Presley. I thought it would be both aesthetically interesting and thematically fitting to have the background of the stamp be a collage of pictures of female fans screaming in joy, seeing as this was a common occurrence when Elvis was out in public. Seeing as all of those images where in black and white, I wanted to picture of Elvis, that would be the top layer, to be in color to contrast the muted background. The picture of him I placed in the left corner, so in order to balance out the image, I put the text of "The King," allowing viewers to know who the stamp was about, and the official price of the stamp on the right hand corners of the stamp.
