Looking back

10 more days, that is what is left of my college career. It’s so weird to think it was just 4 years ago that I was taking my first advertising class (media and society with wonderful Ms. Saewitz of course). I guess this post is more a reflection of the things I did right that may help other students in the future. I was very fortunate that I found a passion for advertising at a very early stage.

Details details…details

Details and execution is a key part of the advertising industry. Most students think it’s all about the great ideas, and even though that is somewhat true, without great execution it won’t matter. It’s all in the details. When you design layouts everything needs to look perfectly, there has to be a structure that pleases the eye. And this is what I have seen a lot in my internship.

Up next…web design

So the semester is almost over and so is my internship. I definitely gained experience and learned about crucial aspects of the industry like deadlines and dealing with clients. I also got the chance to work with all types of media in print and web which was really exciting. It gave me an overview of where I want to focus my studies and career in the future. What I liked the most was web design.

Showbiz valuable but maybe not my choice for the future

Hey everyone my name is Alex Garcia and I’m in the Art Direction track. I’m currently an intern for philly2night where I do some of their design work and web sites. I’ve been interning there since the beginning of summer. I have to say it’s been a cool experience, I’ve learned a lot and it definitely showed me another branch of marketing/advertising, which would be the entertainment one.
