Issue:
As Main Topic: The most direct and popular one will be Theatre, Television or Actresses, and of course that one included in a wider Arts Topic.
Then, inside Theatre Topic, the release is obviously focus on the Personality of Cristina Morán, an Uruguayan Actress that also worked as Presenter and Announcer in many Television and Radio Shows, so Uruguayan Actresses, Uruguayan Presenters and Uruguayan Announcers are more precise Topics for this release, and even Remarkable Uruguayan Women could be another Topic for this Issue too.
Also, a wider Uruguayan Personalities could be selected as Main Topic of this issue, not only as an immediate generalization of the previously named ones, also because this release is explicitly issued with this objective, as it is a Traditional Annual Series, that commemorate Remarkable Personalities of Uruguay.
Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: As Cristina Morán also worked in Radio Dramas, Audio Dramas or Radio Theater, this specific part of both worlds the Theater one, and the Radio one, could be an interesting Topic not much seen in Philatelic Items.
Then, several Radio and Television Broadcasters could be associated with Cristina Morán, as she worked for them through her career.
First "Radio Carve" in which she played serveral Radio Dramas, and then "Saeta TV Canal 10" in which she worked for three decades, being with them the First woman to appear in the Uruguayan Television, and gained recognition as the Presenter of "Domingos Continuados", and also worked as an Actress in two TV Comedies in this Channel. She also participated in the traditional TV Show of "Canal 12", "El Show del Mediodía". Finally, she also was the Presenter of two TV Shows in "Canal 5".
Also, some Theater Plays, and Plays Writters could be related with the Personality of Cristina Morán, as he worked as an Actress in the plays "La Pecera", in english "The Fishbowl" of Eduardo Sarlos, an Hungarian writter that lives almost all his life in Uruguay, and also the plays "Mujeres de arena", and "Hijas de la Mala vida", in english "Women of Sand" and "Daughters of the bad life", both from the Mexican Writter and Human Rights Activist Humberto Robles.
Now, regarding the desing of the stamps: As it includes a Picture of Cristina Morán, besides the Photography Topic, also some other minor Topics could be identified, that are: Rings, Earrings and also Hands.
Also Flags could be a topic added, as on the top of the stamp, where it is placed the legend "Personalidades Destacadas de Uruguay", that means "Remarkable Personalities from Uruguay", a Ribbon with the pattern of the Flag of Uruguay slides behind the legend.
Finally, in a more symbolic way: This release, puts Arts, and in particular Theater or Performing, in a relevant place, as in this year is a Personality of this scope, one of the selected for the Annual Series of Remarkable People from Uruguay. Also, the selection of Cristina Morán in particular, broaden the spectrum of Performing, as she traveled, through her career, in all the scopes in which Performing is needed, as it is Radio, Television, and Theater.
Block:
The block: Reinforce the relation with Television Topic, because the icon selected to show the inks used in the Release is an Old Model of Video Camera, with two big compartments for Film Ribbon. The Old model of the Camera Selected, could relate this release with a Vintage Collection.
Also Flags could be a topic reinforced by the Block as, in the same way that it is done in the stamp, on the top of it, where it is placed the legend "Personalidades Destacadas del Uruguay", a Ribbon with the pattern of the Flag of Uruguay slides behind the legend.
FDC:
The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Also reinforces Television Topic, as it shows Tripod for a Video Camera, with the addition that this particular item, the Tripod, is rarely seen on Philatelic Items.
