NO FACEBOOK… ?!

On my drive to Philly this morning I was listening to NPR, and learned that China has created it’s own form of Facebook, in english meaning “everybody.” The irony of the title? They were forced to create this social networking…

Once you tell them you can help, they know

OK! Magazine is More Than OK!

Right when I walked into the office on the 4th floor of the 44th and 6th ave. office of OK! Magazine, I knew it was the place I wanted to be. As a web intern at OK! Magazine, I feel…

Darwin’s Got Nothing On Us

If there is one thing I have gained from this internship it is experience. Before this internship all my knowledge of the advertising and marketing world consisted of theoretical situations and hypothetical in class clients. Finch Brands has really helped…

Knowing what you don’t know

As I look back on this semester as an intern at the Avenue of the Arts, I feel that it was a great start to my career.  I not only gained experience, but I also realized what I didn’t know,…

Millennials…A Generation of Change

We have been told that if we work really hard we will succeed. We won trophies. We learned that everyone is a winner. 75 % of us use social networking sites that have started revolutions… (And stalked our ex’s). We…

Lego Ambient

Above is a sample of an idea produced by Access Agency for Lego. Although it is just a concept, it is probably one of the better ambient/viral tactics I’ve seen in recent years. One thing I’m not sure about is the…

Marvel Volkswagen Spoof

Marvel Comics took the Volkswagen “The Force” video and made their own dupe on it. While still wondering the legality behind it, I think it was a simple, easy, and effective idea to market their new cinematic release of…

Keep It Moving

Before starting an internship of any kind, I was under a certain impression about the formula campaign. The client wants more sales…so- you do the research, you make some ads, you follow the results…Kazam. Right? Nope!   Interning with the…

Final Decisions

The end of the semester is here, which means the ending of my internship at Creative Video. Even though I’ve been here since November, it seems like the days went by rather quickly. I enjoy my days working here. I…

Identity Design: The Landing by Jamie Stolarski

Below are images from the new identity design created for The Landing by Jamie Stolarski. The Landing is a jazz club in San Antonio, I can’t think of many well designed jazz club identities, Jamie on the other hand killed…

Time for Action!

I’m an intern at Creative Video, a video production company located in New Jersey. I was hired at the end of the winter semester as a graphic design intern. Since there wasn’t much design needed during the winter break, I…

Today was a good day. Today, I was inspired. One of our clients is in the workings with Brownstein to execute a TV spot for a new product. This may make me sound like a six year old, but…I can’t…

Networking is your power tool.

I’ve always been told that the last semester of senior year is the most difficult. It’s the period in your life when you have the least time to yourself. Yet regardless how many times I have been told this I…
