About Animal Deadee Illustratio Sigillorum

In Sinis multa sigilla postalia cum thematibus animalium exstant, sed hoc primum est quo sigilla animalibus raris Yunnaniae propriis dedicata sunt. Conventus Internationalis de Conservatione Biodiversitatis anno MMXXI in Yunnan, Sinis, habitus est. Hoc opus per hanc collectionem sigillorum notionem protectionis ambientalis gubernii Sinensis propagare intendit, mundum hortans ut patriam terrestrem communem curet.

Unique Properties: There are many animal themed stamps in China, but this is the first time that stamps have been dedicated to rare animals endemic to Yunnan. The 2021 International Biodiversity Conservation Summit was held in Yunnan, China. This design intends to use this set of stamps to spread the Chinese government's concept of environmental protection, calling on the world to care for the earth's home on which we live.
Dimensions & Packaging: Stamp dimensions: Length 40mmx Width 30mm
Tags: Stamps, Illustration, Endangered Animals, Environmental Protection, Yunnan
Production Technology: Drawn stamp manuscripts are electronically color separated, electronically impositioned and plated to complete the plate making. Finally, it is done by offset printing.
Design Challenge: How to refine concrete animals into two dimensional abstract paintings with national characteristics is the most challenging part of the whole creation.
Research: In order to commemorate the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in Yunnan, China, the team designed a lot of souvenirs, but the sustainability of the publicity was not ideal, and finally found that the stamps have a certain collection value, and the spread is relatively widespread, so the stamps were finally selected as a souvenir of this meeting. Illustrations reflect the local ethnic identity and cultural diversity, which is in line with the theme of biodiversity.
Inspiration: Due to modern human activities, many rare species are on the verge of extinction. Global climate anomalies and natural disasters in recent years have been a strong warning signal to humanity. It is hoped that the stamp will evoke human love for endangered animals and nature in the process of use. The design is inspired by Chinese poetry.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2020 in Kunming and finished in January 2021 in Kunming.
Operation Flow: Most of the animals on the stamps are endemic to Yunnan province, and the sight of these animals is reminiscent of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in Yunnan, China.
