Identity and fresh new cards for Gulfport-based Matthew Print & Apparel Co.

Brand spankin’ new identity, branding and collateral developed by Unreal for Emeril’s Homebase and their new concept restaurant in Uptown Charlotte, NC, E2 Emeril’s Eatery. E2 will be located on the street level of the Mint Museum at the Levine Center for the Arts and will be opening doors January 2012.

Wow. What a phenomenal and soothing trip to Puerto Rico. After six days in San Juan, Piñones and Isabela with great friends the creative batteries are quite recharged. The waters and rainforests there are amazing.

New identity created by Unreal for the Advertising Club of New Orleans and their upcoming 2012 Voodoo Addy Awards at the Superdome.

Had the pleasure of shooting a R68 Delta V rocket engine test at Stennis Space Center today. What a treat. This is a rough animated GIF I put together from some of the shots.

I’ve decided to start a random, creative inspiration blog called Semiaquatic, and it will be updated daily. None of the content is mine, but instead is drawn from topics that inspire me. The topics range from, but are not limited to: photography, design, typography, architecture, pop-culture, the opposite sex, color, signage, nature, history and geometry. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have creating it. You can visit Semiaquatic here.

We are stoked once again to be featured on the international packaging design blog TheDieline.com. The feature is on packaging created by Unreal for Kiln, Mississippi-based Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company and their new Southern Pecan 6 packs. You can view the full article here.

We just received word that Mississippi: State of Blues has been honored with the title of Blues Book of the Year by Living Blues Magazine. The book – shot by Ken Murphy, written by Scott Barretta and art directed/designed by Unreal, takes a cross section of the current state of the Mississippi blues scene. It investigates what the state of the blues was, what it is now and what it will be in the future.

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally wrapped up our new site and you’re looking at it. Check back often for work and blog updates. Thanks for visiting. Cheers.
