Proclomations from THE NORTH STATE, February 2009
STATE OF THE UNION
WINTER FRESH
Salutations from THE NORTH STATE
We're soooo over winter – can you feel it? After spending the first part of the new year huddled 'round the fire and LCD screens, it was time to make something happen in O-Nine.  So, there was that big intro for the new President, but there was a far bigger announcement about the newest addition to The North State Administration. David Tisdale and his wife welcomed a baby boy into the world...Knox Ryder Tisdale, a 6.2 oz, 18’’ boy, who came into the world with red hair and a full set of Photoshop skills. It's only a matter of time until he makes all of us obsolete. Also, The North State has enjoyed a prosperous and exciting launch over the past few months. As we approach our first anniversary, great new ideas are on the way and we'll be sending something out to loyal citizens. We share great appreciation for all who’ve chosen to do biz in The North State.

Collaborations. As music and design enthusiasts, we've come to grasp that it takes more than one person with a good idea. The right ensemble will inspire and motivate everyone involved to create things that an individual would seldom discover alone. In the end, designers find themselves in a role of arranging compositions that balance a set of brilliant parts. We'd like to shine light upon a set of three creatives responsible for those fine elements which we layer and crop while developing successful collaborations.
