The Design

About Carimbo Damga

Sahibini ve eserini tanımak ve her yere götürmek için bir damga. İlk başta amaç, çevrimdışı dünyaya yaklaşmanın bir yolunu bulmaktı. Kartvizit gibi bir şey, sadece daha şık, daha ucuz ve çevre dostu. Yani bir damga (karimbo) seçim oldu. Bir imza. İç kısmı, Igor'un kafa karıştırıcı ve güzel yaratıcı sürecini temsil ederken, yuvarlak çerçeve onu akıcılıkla sarar ve ona bir amaç verir. Bu ikisi birlikte, mürekkebin içinden geçebileceği bir doku oluşturarak, kişisel markasına mükemmel bir destek sağlıyor. Minion Pro sonunda iletişim bilgilerini zarif bir şekilde yazar.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: A stamp to identify its owner and his work and take it everywhere. The inner part represents Igor's confusing and beautiful creative process, while the round frame wraps it up in fluidity and gives it purpose. These two combined build a texture the ink can flow through, providing the perfect support to his personal brand. At last, Minion Pro gracefully writes the contact information.
Dimensions & Packaging: Measuring 38,1 x 38,1 mm (1,5 x 1,5 in), this stamp was made to fit anywhere, from Post-its to envelopes, and yet bear appropriate readability. It's a point to attract the eye and it's a circle to seize space.

Production Technology: Tools used for the completion of the project itself include Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Bridge, a MacBook Pro and a Wacom Intuos tablet. Later, Adobe Photoshop, a Nikon D3200 and some Nikkor lenses were additionally used for the presentation construction.
Design Challenge: One of the most challenging aspects was whether a design so intricate could be done. The question was about it being either feasible or just a bleed-prone design. It should produce sufficient clarity, not only to its ornaments but to type these supported. However, the crucial point was the availability of suppliers that could deliver the stamp. Manual etching was not a practical option, so finding a capable rubber-stamp maker was key. Those aspects, once met, proved Carimbo possible.
Research: The functioning and visual language behind stamps were under careful observation. It was to understand how they work and their characteristics. Research demonstrated how some designs often aid inherent stamping limitations. By using ornaments perhaps too complex for such a limited medium, they become canvases for misprints. The outcome is a unique textured combination of deliberate features and pure chance. This reasoning informs engraving attributes, e.g. contrast, as it did this project's.
Inspiration: The stamp is a signature. That's the sentence that best summarizes this project. At first, the intention was to find a way of approaching the offline world. Something like a business card, only classier, cheaper and environment friendly. So a stamp (carimbo) was the choice. A stamp to identify its owner and his work and take it everywhere. A signature.
Project Duration: The project began in about August 2014 in Caruaru. Occasional sketching and research filled the following five to six months leading into 2015. The final design was, then, worked on, tested, its corresponding rubber stamp ordered. Photos were taken, assets were made. A month or so later, Carimbo was published in March 2015.
Operation Flow: You make sure the rubber stamp is clean, as not to yield unwanted artifacts. Dab it on an ink pad a few times, on several spots to get a thorough spread. To remove any excess and so avoid bleeds, do it over briefly right before stamping. Now press it on a clean flat paper surface. Apply even pressure across the mount in a gentle but firm manner. Wait, then pull the stamp up with a swift motion. Tilt the handle with caution towards one direction, if a specific part of the print lacks legibility.
