Awards

Don't know why I didn't post this when it happened. But I won some design awards in the 2012 S.C. Press Association contest.
Awards
From the story: "Designer Stephen Guilfoyle, who designs page for both the Morning News and its affiliated weekly papers, won three awards, including first in Page One Portfolio for work on the Hartsville Messenger."
List of awards:
Page One Portfolio-Hartsville Messenger (1st),
Single Page Design-All Dailies (second),
Page One Design-Dailies 20,000- 50,000 (3rd)
The daily awards were in competition against the medium-sized dailies in South Carolina. The first place award was against two-three times a week publications.

Turns out, that in addition to his charming white supremacy and lack of proper grammar in making public statements, another delightful aspect of his personality is criminality.

I'm not saying I told you so.
Writing it down instead.
