We've been asked a lot lately, "How is Studio Octon?" The answer is...great! Although we may not post much here, the reality is that we both have different passions that don't always collide. ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“ธBut on the other hand we are still under the umbrella together. Studio Octon is us. โค๏ธ We work side by side in the evenings and on weekends. Not always on the same projects, but together. Sometimes our paths collide and cool things happen like these new business cards for . Designed of course by !

We may not be a traditional studio, but we are a family and that's all that matters!
Thanks for following along and showing your support.
Sincerely,
The Octons

Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mr. Octon, but you can call me Jarod. I'm one half of Studio Octon, alongside my wife Natasha. Clients "tag me in" when they're in need of illustration and design work. Check my style at Octon Originals. Now that you're familiar with what I DO, let me tell you some more personable details.

Here's 5 Fun Facts about me:

1. I'm a San Diego native who returned home after migrating between Oregon and Imperial Valley. Many years of my childhood were spent as a Desert Rat.

2. I was sponsored by TWO different shops for skateboarding back in the day. ๐Ÿ’ช Now I ride on a board of my own design.

3. I work full time at a Candy Company named Bee International. ๐Ÿญ We've developed novelty products for brands such as Nickelodeon, Cold Stone and much more!

4. I worked many years at a chain of comic book stores. Have you ever heard of Comics-N-Stuff? ๐Ÿ’ฅ I helped manage those locations!

5. The very FIRST movie I ever saw in a movie theater was โ€ชthe Little Mermaidโ€ฌ. ๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Which is probably the root influence of my love for ALL things Disney.

I hope you you enjoyed reading that bit of personal trivia! Look out for an introduction from Mrs. Octon! Until then, let us know if there's anything you need help with. It's been a busy week and we're still hungry for more!

Special shoutout to my homie Alan Nakkash for capturing this photograph of me. He's an extended family member of Studio Octon, so go say hi! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Peace yaโ€™ll! โœŒ๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ธ Photography Tip: If you want to improve your photography skills, look no further than the light! ๐ŸŒค Natural light that is! For tonight's example we're going to focus on specifically but this advice can work for other types of photography as well!
-
For this particular photo, Natasha took the picture in our bedroom next to a large window around 2 PM in the afternoon. After doing a test of all the different rooms and windows in our home, she discovered that our bedroom produces the best natural light.
-
Now just because you want natural lighting on your photos ๐Ÿšซ DOES NOT mean you should be placing your food or whatever else you are capturing in direct sunlight. This can easily wash things out and make them over exposed.
-
Start out by taking 3 pieces of fruit and a backdrop of your choice around your home to test this out. By capturing photos at different times of day and in varied rooms you will see the difference the lighting makes on each photo. We also recommend to keep your camera settings the same while you do this so that you can really gauge the quality. Sometimes you think you have the best lighting but you never really know until you test it!
-
Also, if you don't use a DSLR you can still do the same thing with your cell phone! ๐Ÿ“ฒWe hope you found this helpful. If you try this method out please tag us so we can see your work!

๐ŸŒดSan Diego, CA ๐ŸŒดOnce a week we want to take a moment to showcase a beautiful part of the city we call home! We're hoping this may help you find new places to explore or find inspiration. Jarod was born and raised here in San Diego, which is honestly a rare find these days. Many people living here are transplants like Natasha! She was born in Los Angeles but grew up in Washington State. Both of us love this city and all that it has to offer and know that many of you do too! So we want to know, what's your favorite place in San Diego? It can be anywhere! A restaurant, park, shop, beach....wherever it is we want to know!

We got married then established a studio! Studio Octonโ€™s story begins many years ago at a Media Arts school in San Diego called Platt College. ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ–ฅ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ“ธThis is where we first met, became friends and fell in love with each other. ๐Ÿ’ž We both graduated from Platt with Associates Degrees in Graphic Design and Bachelors of Science Degrees in Media Arts with an emphasis on Visual Effects & Compositing.

Although we both studied the same degrees we both evolved into our own unique styles when it came to media arts. Jarod has always loved Illustration, Branding and Design projects. Where Natasha found a love for Marketing, Design and Photography.

We recently got married in September of 2018 and have been together for over 6 years. ๐Ÿ’ During this time weโ€™ve been able to watch each other grow and blossom in our individual careers as well as freelance and side projects.
It was right before we got married that we started talking about building something extra special together. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ปA place where our creative passions could meld together under one umbrella and thatโ€™s how Studio Octon was born.

We hope you will join us on this new venture together. Even if you don't require our services we hope our upcoming posts can bring you value in your business or personal pursuits! Welcome to Studio Octon!

Cheers!
Jarod & Natasha
