Hat-trick

Royal mail commissioned Hat trick to create a collection of stamps
 commemorating 50 years of the Royal Shakespeare Company.   


Such lovely sparing use of colour. The red really stands out without
detracting from the main imagery.  





Illustrator Marion Deuchars was asked to produce the handwritten lettering for
 the collection. The expressiveness communicated through the varying weight of
 the strokes gives personality to the thespians pictured and helps to give a tone of
voice to the famous lines.
