Studio Brief 4 - The problem

For studio Brief 4 we had to find a problem in our chosen collection that we had conducted in brief 2 and 3. So the problem i had found was that stamp could be very boring topic to talk about and get people interested in. Stamps are mostly collected by older people who had started their hobby whilst young. Due to the new generation of children growing up in a world of technology, stamps aren’t being collected as much as they are seen as dull and out-dated.

My main focus was to try and convince young adults and children to start collecting stamps. I feel like the only way to do this would to some how create an interactive stamp, which combines stamps and technology. My idea was to create a stamp, which has an embedded QR code. You can activate it by scanning it with your phone by using the camera feature. Once scanned and activated the stamp will turn into a game. It could be a sports game or a maze game. Every stamp will have a different game, which will give the user a reason and incentive to start collecting stamps.
