It wasn’t long ago when I still thought, “Who even uses stamp mockups these days?
Rubber stamps in general? Isn’t that too old-school?”
My web design friend, Jack, SOON proved me wrong.
He amazed me by showing me his specialization: custom rubber stamps. Agencies, businesses, corporations, freelancers – yes, many still use them!
Luckily, he was willing to sit down with me to review what’s available on the market.
We went through 50+ stamp mockups.
He was kind enough to share with me (and now, YOU) his FAVORITE.
