Many people have a view on stamp collecting much of which would be fairly derisive. However taking a look at Iain Follett's Adapt or Die flikr account would certainly change a lot of peoples viewpoint. The colection he has which was featured in Creative Reviews monograph series is virtually a who's who in graphic design with stamps (see above) designed by such legends as Wim Crouwel and Otto Treumann. It is incredible to see such great design achieved on such a small surface area. My personal favourite are the fantastic halftone images for the Munich Olympics.
