ISSUE Botanical Congress
MEDIUM board; gouache; ink
ILLUSTRATOR Stanley Galli
FIRST DAY OF ISSUE August 23, 1969
This developmental art focuses on the pinecones and needles of the Douglas-fir, an evergreen conifer species native to western North America. Concepts included a vertical orientation with a white skyline, horizontal cones and needles, and a green skyline. The final design retained the green and used a vertical orientation for the needles and pinecone. |
