50 and 50: Designer's Atas

What happens when you take something from the past and ask designers to give it a fresh spin? 50 and 50 is a project dreamed up by illustrator Dan Cassaro which is an attempt to take a new look at the US through the eyes of fifty designers representing the 50 states and re-imaging their state motto in a new visual form. The idea is to create something steeped in history, but with a modern spin in a unique kind of "designer's atlas." You can view all 50 states in the gallery here. {thanks to Miss Dale Marie for this awesome find!}
Speaking of States, check out John Holcomb's The United Plates of America, in case you missed it the first go.
