The hang tag of this creation series is
designed to give the feeling of a typical city’s back alley.
The letters for the words "Virtue Alley" are painted on
the broken wood picket fence and the font for this tag is
friendly and easy to read. The simple bubble letters conveys
the childlike simplicity of the message. The wood picket
fence is not only broken off, but also dulled and weathered
from time. Rascal the Rat appears to be foraging in the
garbage can that the fence is leaning against. The brick
in the background is a deeper mahogany, the alley concrete
is a darker gray with imperfections and the overall color
scheme of the tag is earth-tones. The animals in the creation
will usually be their natural colors so an earth tone hang
tag would better tie these together. The fence symbolizes
the all-American dream of the 40's and early 50's when couples
wanted to own a beautiful dream home with a white picket
fence out front. The back alley symbolizes the reality of
where many of us are struggling to survive, if not in truth,
at least in daily community effort. That is the whole thrust
of the series...to help us, even in this small way, to return
to our roots, to the teachings of the past, our dreams of
years gone by. A time when the words honor, truth, honesty,
heroism, valor, faith, charity and such - meant so much
more. Trite and simplistic, optimistic and symbolic...but
The Whisper Works™ thinks it is a message many are eager
for!
