TENNARKIPPI
This is a quarterly newsletter for a general audience of people in West Tennessee, Eastern Arkansas and North Mississippi (Shelby, Tipton, Fayette, Lauderdale, Crittenden, & Desoto county) who are interested in working together to grow the region's economy. They range from mayors and municipal staff to leaders of nonprofits involved in various community issues to regular folks who just want to make their communities better. We are looking for a newsletter masthead design that is welcoming, approachable and fun, and blends the ideals of the mythical land of Tennarkippi with solid information provided by the MidSouth Development District staff and board.
As the artist Dolph Smith says about Tennarkippi: I began years ago to create a mythological region I call Tennarkippi. It is an apolitical partisan community. Upbeat and a bit loony. It is my version of the Mid-South. ... and I can go as far as my imagination can take me.
That's what we're hoping this newsletter can do.
