25 May 2026 - 80th anniversary of Independence (Transjordan was liberated from Turkish rule in 1918 during the First World War and became a League of Nations Mandate of Great Britain in 1920 with the establishment of the Emirate of Transjordan on 1 April 2021 and full independence from Great Britain being achieved on 22 March 1946 as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan) - 1 miniature sheet containing 8 different stamps and 1 booklet containing 9 different panes (1 containing the 8 stamps and the other each containing a single stamp). Lithographed. Rating:- *****.
Answer - Not hard at all.
This set of 4 stamps depicting Labrador retrievers was created using AI in about 10 minutes.
Surely these are better than the recent set of Royal Mail Castles stamps. If RM wants me to provide it with future stamp designs, Gemini and I are standing by. Oh yes! For a nice juicy fee please.
"How hard is it to design an appealing set of postage stamps in 2026?" I guess that depends on who you're designing stamps for. I really like the Castles miniature sheet and think RM missed a trick by not issuing them as regular sheet stamps. In fact the entire Castles set should have been just those four stamps.
ReplyDeleteI agree. There is a big difference between design and selecting photos.
DeleteYou do prove that attractive stamp designs are not that hard to achieve. I would buy this set ! What is wrong with philatelic designers in modern times. So much now is bald, excessive issues and more expensive than reasonable. Stamp collecting was so much more fun growing up.

I admire your fake Labrador stamps. Most convincing. Could you do a set of Canvey Island stamps celebrating pretty actresses in bathing costumes...? On a serious note I think stamps are more interesting now if they have actually been used on post.
