Semester work on the topic of Olympic and conceptual stamps. 

I chose running for my movement sign. I wanted to capture the strength, speed, sweat and effort that athletes experience during the Olympics. I tried many ways, compositions, colors, fonts as you can see below.

I started with smaller study sketches in pencil according to a living model, I gradually moved to ink and larger formats, where I was looking for a form of capture, expression of emotions. Gradually, I moved from one pair of legs to a more complex, more interesting capture of more limbs. In the end, I chose a composition with more sprinters, to underline the movement. I was based on the Olympic rings, plus sprinters tend to have jerseys that mostly symbolise their country. 

I chose the font Tahoma - regular, uppercase.

My concept mark is focused on the Paralympics. It was not originally an intention, but rather gradually emerged from my original concept: Even the blind and deaf "watch" the events of the Olympic Games. They just use other means to do so, they learn about the course in a different form. 

I learned from world statistics that they are the least blind in the world, so I used "Congratulations" in Braille on the stamp that will be sent around the Czech Republic. For Europe "Herzlichen glückwunsch" in sign language. I chose German because it is the second most populous country in Europe after Russia, which mainly covers Asia. "Congratulations", English, an internationally recognised language, for the rest of the world, which has the opportunity, one could say an advantage, to follow the events of the Olympic Games in several ways. 

I again borrowed the colours from the Olympic logo, because despite their physical disability, most of the handicapped can - again - be included in everyday life, they are their own winners. 

Font again Tahoma - regular, capital letters.
