Unreal’s packaging/branding work done for Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company and their seasonal release, Gulf Porter, has been selected for feature in Print Magazine’s 2010 Regional Design Annual. We are absolutely flattered to be included amongst this talented, select group of creatives from across the USA.
We were able to get our first peek at the Baton Rouge Blues Festival posters during our matchprint meeting this past Friday at Baton Rouge Printing. They are going to look great when they come off the press. We are very excited and can’t wait to see them.
Ken Murphy, Brooks Hubbert, Molly and I were on location this past week in Magee, Mississippi, shooting for the upcoming Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout 6-pack release. It was an adventurous day to say the least. Not having complete control over your set/location/light can be quite stressful.
I just received an invitation to judge the 2010 Southern District Student Addys® in Mobile next month. It will be nice to be back in my old college stomping grounds to peruse and judge upcoming talent.
Unreal received a Gold Addy® last weekend here in Baton Rouge for Lazy Magnolia’s Gulf Porter logo.
A small sneak peek at the Ocean Springs, MS-based Shed BBQ & Blues Joint’s new line of product packaging created by Unreal.
Gig poster created for a very good high school friend of mine, Brooks Hubbert, and his group, Bubbasonic. Bubbasonic effortlessly spans genres including psychedelic rock, blues, country and bluegrass in the creation of music that is both technically impressive and easily accessible.
Unreal and client, Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company, have once again been featured on TheDieline.com, an international packaging design website. The project featured is the Gulf Porter half gallon growler branding and packaging. Check it out here and here
Just a peek at an exciting new side venture brought to you by The Shed BBQ & Blues Joint with branding and packaging being done by Unreal. More details to come.
A sneak peek at the Lazy Magnolia 64oz growler bottle artwork for their upcoming Brewmaster’s Choice Series brew, Gulf Porter.
We just finished knocking out the illustration for the new Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company tees that will be hot off the press soon. I will post pics when I get my hands on one.
We are happy to announce that Unreal has partnered with The Shed BBQ & Blues Joint out of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, to help brand their new venture, The Saucery, and to package their line of award-winning sauces. The Saucery is going to be a sauce and food product manufacturing and packaging facility for Shed products as well as others.
The Shed’s BBQ and sauces have won top honors at numerous industry events including the Memphis in May World BBQ Championships, The Oxford BBQ Throwdown and the National BBQ Convention in Austin. They have also been featured on the Travel Channel’s “Rib Paradise”, the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” and on Regis & Kelly.
With Shed locations in Ocean Springs and Gulfport, Mississippi – they will soon be opening outlets in Mobile, Alabama, and in Destin and Perdido, Florida.
I was in Clarksdale, MS smack in the middle of the Delta a few weekends ago attending the Sunflower River Blues Festival. I stumbled upon this nicely-weathered, typographic signage outside the restaurant where we were having brunch one of the days. It was in the alley that runs beside Rust, an appropriately-named, high-end restaurant with great mango margaritas to beat the August, mid-day Delta heat.
Our new online home is finally live. I decided on scaling back the bells and whistles to create a clean and easily navigated online presence that is all about the work and not the site. Let me know what you think. I will be making frequent updates to the work and blog sections. Cheers. RD
