Dorothy Dandridge Stamp Collection

The Beautiful Dorothy Dandridge

  1. Okay... good beginning... Now there are a few issues to deal with...

    1. Never skew or squash a photograph to fit a space... rather crop the photo... it is okay to skew the scallop a bit to make the piece work...

    2. Show a little more of the scallop, more white...

    3. Keep your margins equal and consistent through all 4 parts. i.e., bottom left, her name is too close to the edge and the 44 USA is even outside of the edge of the image.

    Make the size of the white margins equal and consistent across all stamps and within each stamp.

    She is beautiful! Thanks for bringing her to my attention... I learned this from Wikipedia; "In 1954 she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Carmen Jones. In 1959 she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Porgy and Bess. In 1999 she was the subject of the HBO biopic Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, starring Halle Berry as Dandridge. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."
