Graphic Designer
Jack of all trades … master of none. That describes me to a T (or is it to a tee?). I’ve done a bit of everything over the years. My former team at The Team Advertising/The AdZilla Agency said, “Shane has a vast portfolio of work encompassing virtually every communication medium that exists: print, logo design, photography, billboards, website design, video production, social media graphics, and more. He has a scarily innate sense of how to best use color, fonts, photography, and layout in many mediums. And clients often comment on what a great guy he is and how easy he is to work with.”
When did I do a billboard? I don’t remember that. Huh. Anyway, one thing you won’t see on my résumé is a long list of employers. That’s because I have worked for The Team Advertising & Publishing since the year 2000. (Cue Conan O’Brien. Wow, what an old reference.) There, I was responsible for the design and layout of Louisiana Gardener magazine and 9 of its sister publications nine times per year. (Yes, you read that correctly ... 90 per year.)
After 20 years of gardening goodness, the magazines ceased publication in 2019. In 2020, we went back to our ad agency roots as The AdZilla Agency where I dipped my toes into the world of video and web work for a few local clients. I was also able to work on several successful local political campaigns where I was responsible for all their print designs, web designs, social media graphics, and video shooting and editing.
I did a lot of photography for the magazines over the years. I got so into it I even tried my hand at photographing weddings and family portraits. (Weddings are stressful, y'all!)
In 2018 I was approached to do a logo for a bath bomb company called FizzBizz. (What's up Chalissa & Garreth!) I designed their logo and they were so pleased they stuck with me and I have since designed a great deal of their product labels.
This was hard because I don't like talking about myself. So ... enough about me. Click that link below and see some stuff.
