Willow Point: Historic Hunting Heaven

by Imaginary on Monday, April 25 2011 at 02:47PM

We recently finished up a website for Willow Point Island, a historic island in the Mississippi River twelve miles northwest of Vicksburg. Willow Point, though noted for its unparalleled beauty, significant natural resources, and quality wildlife management, is best known for its world-class whitetail deer hunting. Recently the island went up for sale, and we designed and implemented the site to show off the amenties and natural beauty of the island.

Mississippi Festival Posters

The Mississippi Festival is an area non-profit organization that brings world-class performers to community events. These performances are often free, and they always help to enrich Mississippi communities with greater opportunities for the arts. We created publicity posters as well as a few ads for area publications. Many of this year's performances are still upcoming. Check out http://msfestival.com for more info!

We recently completed a really fun logo & website project for Salsa Mississippi, a Latin dance club in Fondren. They recently opened a brand new location on Duling Street. It was great to work with this fantastic group of dancers.

Salsa Mississippi offers daily dancing lessons and Zumba classes. And if you're ever in Fondren on a Friday or Saturday night, their Latin dance parties are not to be missed!

The Governor’s Awards: Annual Mississippi Tradition

by Imaginary on Tuesday, January 18 2011 at 01:30PM

For years now, Imaginary Company has designed posters for the annual Governor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts. Held in Jackson each year, these awards celebrate Mississippi's long legacy of artistic achievement, and they honor individuals who have gone above and beyond in their pursuit of excellence and artistry.

Each year, the poster and other materials feature a different photo commemorating an individual or location with significant to the arts in Mississippi. Each image was shot by photographer Tom Joynt.

The 2009 poster features an image of B.B. King, our great blues artist.

In 2010, the poster celebrated the newly-opened Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, representing Mississippi Gulf Coast culture and artistic growth.

This year's poster features a photo of the Lyric, a movie theatre in Tupelo, Mississippi. This building has survived nearly one hundred years, and it is now home to the Tupelo Community Theatre. Reportedly, the balcony of the Lyric was where Elvis stole his first kiss.

This year's Governor's Awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, February 24, 2011 in the auditorium at the Mississippi Department of Education in downtown Jackson.

Retro Christmas

by Imaginary on Monday, December 20 2010 at 02:28PM

It's time to change the channel to Christmas!

It used to be you knew Christmas was coming the first time you saw the TV commercials with "Norelco Santa" sliding down the hill and the Budweiser Clydesdales marching past. Everyone was in the Christmas spirit after the Sears & Roebuck catalog arrived in the mail with all the latest toys. Some of the old television spots seem timeless now, some ironic. Now, years later, "Mystery Date" has been replaced by Match.com, "Lucky Strike" has made a comeback thanks to the vintage ad agency drama series Mad Men. And who wouldnt still "like to buy the world a Coke" and do the Charlie Brown Christmas dance?"

Enjoy these vintage commercials. And enjoy your holiday season!
