Doors Open at 6:00pm
At our final meeting before summer break, we were excited to present this evening with stamp designer Andrew Perro as he provided an informative and entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the stamp design process and Canada Post's stamp program.Â
In this presentation, Andrew walked through his design portfolio of stamp issues for Canada Post, which spans over 20 years. He also demonstrated the importance of thorough research and what the philatelist and stamp-buying public look for when considering a stamp design.Â
Andrew walked us through his process of developing design concepts for some recent releases and submitting them to the Stamp Advisory Committee.
It was truly a unique opportunity to gain insight into Canadian philatelist culture and have our design questions answered by a knowledgeable veteran designer.
