Stamp two - final outcome

With all of my stamps I have decided to make them quite similar as when put together they do not create a larger image so I have done this so that it is still easy to tell that they are all together in a set. The focal point in this stamp is the large silhouette of a woman manoeuvring a Judo kick. That woman is not just there to signify a sport in the Olympic games, she is also there to represent young Brazilian talent - Sarah Menezes. I have used Sarah Menezes as I found after completing a bit of research on her that she is expected to be one of Brazil's main stars at their Olympics. Last year in London she struck gold aged just 22, so it isn't hard to tell why she is one of the country's main prospects for the next Olympics, which is also going to held in their own country. As well as the last stamp it is clear to see in this one also that I have combined two previous ideas together by going back to my original plan to have silhouettes in each of the four stamps, though I have also used more recent research work on some main aspects of Brazilian life and culture. Besides the silhouette there is a much small colour image that is of the Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho open-air stadium in Brazil. I have used this in my design as it is located in Rio de Janeiro and was partially rebuilt in preparation for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup, which will be the first one held in Brazil since 1950, and also the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The capacity of the stadium is roughly 96,000 so it is clear to tell as to why it will be one of the main stadiums for the Olympic games. Also in this stamp, you can see how I have tried to use techniques which I have recognised from the work of Pablo Jeffer da Silva, by having the gradient as the whole of the background and the flare which is located just above the kicking leg of the athlete. I have also stuck to a certain style by using the Rio 2016 logo in the stamp again and having the Queen's head in the top right corner, and also having the Olympic rings in the stamp, located in the same place as the first stamp.
