50 and 50

Description taken from web: '50 AND 50 IS A CURATED PROJECT WHICH ATTEMPTS TO CONSTRUCT A HANDSOME NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT OUR COUNTRY. FIFTY DESIGNERS, ONE PER STATE, HAVE ILLUSTRATED THEIR STATE MOTTO, CREATING SOMETHING STEEPED IN HISTORY BUT COMPLETELY MODERN AND UNIQUE: A KIND OF DESIGNER'S ATLAS.'

The whole collection can be found on this website, whilst a few of my favourites respresenting Ohio, Wisconsin and various others are below. I love the minimal red, blue and white colour schemes and the retro looking graphics. Each one brings something different, which is true to say of each actual American state.

This is a perfect example of the kind of design that I would love to do. The content is irreverent, there is no real reason behind the existence of the these pieces. They exist purely to entertain and engage an audience, perhaps there is a small aspect of promotion but for the majority they are fun and frivolous designs.
