Canada Post: The Millennium Collection

Gottschalk+Ash International, Montreal, Quebec, 1999

Description

This project was created to mark the millennium with a unique collection of 68 stamps that distinguishes itself from the traditional yearly album published by Canada Post, and to develop an approach that adds value to collectors and is of interest to the general public.

The fold-out hardcover case and flexible binding system provide flexibility in assembling the book. Stamps designed by approximately 50 designers and five photographers from across Canada were printed on actual perforated stamp paper. In short, each element in the album is unique and orchestrated to create emotion, spirit and visual experience.
