Food Stamps
Food Stamps is a project inspired by the current state of food banks in the UK. As a student & designer based in London, I myself have had to use foodbanks in order to suffice some months. Food stamps is a play on words of literal stamps containing the top 10 most wanted items at foodbanks in the UK as of September 2024. These illustrations are placed alongside the current prices for these wanted objects in a local UK supermarket, showing those who are more fortunate how little they would need to spend in order to donate these foods.
I wanted to raise awareness towards foodbanks within this project while also providing necessary context to the issue. More people than ever are using foodbanks and yet donations keep going down, maybe these stamps, if printed and found on everyday post could help to make a difference.
