Thanks for stopping by...

Welcome to the world of Shawn and Octoberson Design!

I'm a graphic designer who's finally starting to branch out into other areas of art and interests. I've been a graphic designer/production manager/graphic/production director for a local magazine. While I like designing ads and helping to produce a magazine every month, I also love to draw.

My hope for this blog is to post all sorts of new things that I've created, from sketches to finished works. I want to put my name and my work out into cyberspace, maybe it will end up making more creations to put into my digital portfolio! Please feel free to contact me if my design skills could be of use to you.

It's time for an update!

Wow, true believers! It feels like forever since I updated my blog. I'll admit, once I moved into my new apartment (yes, I did manage to find a very cool place to live all on my own again) I did attempt an update, but didn't really care much for what I had to say. I wanted to post something having to do with art and/or design than write a post saying "hey, I moved! go me!"

So, in that vein, I've been pretty busy at work with the usual layouts and designs. This month, though, I had the privilege to go above and beyond with the normal job description. Normally I'm just designing ads and plugging in ads into the editorial, then postscripting pages to be sent off to the printer. This time around, though, I got a chance to design the actual cover story for our January Harrisburg Magazine issue.

While I won't show the entire article, I do want to share a few pieces of it to give the flavor of what I designed.
