hidden treasures

doublebarrelled:

Old Try is starting a new look in the print business.  After growing up in the Deep South, the Whitson’s moved north to pursue careers in advertising.  After seeing the heart wrenching impact of the tornados that struck their home state of Alabama in April of this year, they decided they wanted to do something to help out.

Faulkner said to write what you know. Well, as a couple that works in advertising in the cold north, we’re going to do one different: we’re going to design what we know.

Their designs are wood block pressed posters depicting images and symbols that connect people with places and remind Southerners of home.  

There are many different designs for nearly every state in the South; however, they are just getting started.  

Who knows where this will lead us? Whatever the case, it’s going to be Southern. Because we are. Even when we aren’t.
