When we hold a philatelic exhibition, we should organize the participating stamps and philatelic products into a "philatelic product" to display. The basic unit of stamp collection is a small piece. Patch, also known as loose-leaf patch paper, is a kind of light-colored medium-thick paper with special specifications, and its size is about 230 mm× 290 mm The stamp album consists of patches, and a standard display rack can hold 16 stickers. A stamp album consisting of 16 patches is called a one-frame stamp album. A stamp album made of only one (page) patch is a single-page stamp album.

Using computer application software, the digital pictures of stamps and philatelic products are made into simulated philatelic products that can be browsed or printed on the computer, which is called electronic philatelic products. An electronic stamp set made of only one (page) patch is a "single-page electronic stamp set". One page of electronic stamp album can also have traditional, special, postal history, stamp products and other categories, and teenagers start with special stamp albums. Like ordinary philatelic products, single-page electronic philatelic products should have eye-catching titles and text descriptions in addition to selected stamps and philatelic products.

2, material preparation
To make special stamp products, we must first collect suitable stamp materials. Make electronic philatelic products, which can be obtained by scanning specific philatelic products, but mainly downloaded from the internet. There are many stamps and pictures of philatelic products that can be downloaded from philatelic websites such as China Philatelic Information Network and various philatelic stores on Taobao. The website of "Salon Forum for Postal Fans" (/) once held an "Online One-page Philatelic Invitational Competition", and the works on display are still hanging on the website. We can also download its patches, select suitable materials and cut them for later use. (The above "Northeast Tiger" stamp collection is downloaded from this website)
What materials are suitable for making special stamps? The following 2008-25 "Airport Construction" stamps (figure 1) are painted with patterns such as airplanes, roofs, houses, highways and lights (street lamps). These patterns are all information for making special stamps. If we study further, we can also get the word information of "airport" from the purpose of issuing this stamp.

In addition to stamps, all the patterns and characters on envelopes (sheets) printed with stamps issued by the State Post are also valid information. For example, the postage map, postmark, pattern or text of JF.24' s envelope are all valid information, which tells a story about the life of cavemen in ancient Beijing (Figure 2) and can be expanded at the same time. This information applies to special stamps such as population, family planning, clothing, fire, mountains, fruits, trees, rivers and archaeology.

As for the stamped envelopes (pieces), including the first day cover, it is a kind of composite stamp material, and its stamps or commemorative postmarks with ticket selling function can be regarded as effective information. The design and text of the envelope in the lower left corner are decorative. Whether it is printed by the company or privately, it is invalid information and cannot be used to organize stamp collecting. The effective part of this composite stamp product can also be displayed by cutting and pasting, which is both beautiful and saves the display area of the patch (Figure 3).

3. Framework concept
When making a special stamp album, you should have a suitable title. Collecting stamps is essentially writing articles with stamp products. The one-page stamp album is small in scale and is a "short article". The title should be adapted to the content, not too big. For example, who is the father of contracting fish farming, holiday fishing, shooting, attending classes, stories about cats and tigers, shipbuilding and telephone? Titles such as "Fan", "Jiujiuge" and "Fishing" can all tell one thing on one page, so it is appropriate; However, it is difficult to write such titles as History of Rocket Invention in China, Story of Spring and Thirty Years of Reform and Opening-up in one page. If the topic is too big, it is not suitable for making a one-page stamp album.
After the topic is determined, we should give full play to our imagination, combine the analysis of the material theme information, and conceive a story framework of "cause-process-result" according to the topic, which can be a draft in our mind or a draft written on paper. In this logical order, the seal materials are displayed on the patch.
1, conceive the story frame in chronological order. For example, Holiday Fishing and Story show the leisure life of a holiday fishing day. Its framework is as follows: ① in the morning, in the red area, prepare before fishing-what tools to bring and what tools to fish; (2) at noon, green space, fishing process; ③ Evening, blue area, fishing results.

2. Construct a story frame according to the development law of things. For example, the "story" is based on the development plot of the matter: ① planning shipbuilding; (2) shipbuilding; (3) Ship trial.

3. Construct the story frame according to the causal relationship of things. For example, in the drug control of philatelic products, the idea of "story" is based on a typical causal relationship: ① because there are drugs, some people take them; 2 because of drug abuse, physical health will be affected; Because drugs are harmful to health, we must give up drugs.

4, patch production
To make general philatelic products, it is necessary to put a protective bag on the philatelic products and then stick it on the standard patch with double-sided tape; To make an electronic philatelic product, you only need to paste the pictures of philatelic products collected on the Internet into a virtual "patch" and then browse them on the computer. This virtual "patch" can be a word document or a PowerPoint presentation, but the specification must be 23 cm wide and 29 cm high (vertical).
Here's how to use PowerPoint software to make patches.
1. Download the philatelic products you need from the Internet first, or scan your own philatelic products with a scanner and store them in your computer for later use.
2. Enter the PowerPoint page and set the specifications of the stamp album patch. The specific steps are as follows: first, click "File" to enter "Page Setup", select "Custom" in "Slide Size", then select the patch width of 23cm, the height of 29cm and the vertical direction, and finally confirm.
3. Organize philatelic products. Click "insert" to enter the picture file, click on the stamp products you need and insert them. After inserting all philatelic products into the patch, they can be arranged. After the cursor selects the stamp products, click the right mouse button to move the stamp products to your satisfactory position. In order to make the specifications of stamp products conform to reality and add a border around them, you can select stamp products, click the left mouse button, click Format Picture, and then click Size or Color and Line to set the specifications and border color you need. Since the downloaded philatelic products are not philatelic products, we can only roughly set the length, width and size, but in any case, it should not be too outrageous, resulting in the phenomenon that stamps and real envelopes are smaller than stamps.
4. Enter a title and text description. Click "Insert" to enter the "Text Box", and then click "Landscape", and the cursor will appear on the page. You can drag the mouse to set the size of the text box, and finally enter the text.
5. Save the stamp album. Click "File" to open the dialog box, click "Save As", select jpeg file format in the save type, and then click "Save". At this time, the production of a one-page stamp album was completed.
You can refer to the above steps and methods to make stamp albums with word documents, but you can't save them as jpeg files directly, you can only send them directly with word documents.
The prepared one-page electronic stamp album, whether in jpeg file format or word document, can be printed and displayed at the school stamp exhibition. A4 printer can't print standard patches, but can only use A4 paper (2 cm narrower and 0.7 cm longer than standard patches) to print exhibition boards.
