Here at Two 1 Five Design Group, I’ve been working on many websites with my boss. We are currently handling Buymorecontacts.com and Eyeland.com. I have never learned the process of actually building the websites with coding therefore I was helping him put together research and data along with building images throughout the websites. I noticed that finding certain images for different pages was a critical role because it had to express the feeling of what that page was meant to do. For example, there was a page at Eyeland Optical and it was a page regarding their employees. Therefore, I…

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 project management department at Brownstein, I’ve learned that there is so much more that meets the eye of the campaign process. I’ve witnessed campaigns run from start to finish-with every detail in between. This is essentially the role of project management. You must understand the needs of the client and communicate it properly to the rest of the agency-and most importantly, the…

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 decided to extend the hours working each week to gain trust with my coworkers. It’s helped me get more work done and begin more projects. Since my last post, I was able to learn more about After Effects. A freelancer trained me last week. It was very helpful. I learned quicker with his help than I did by myself. I…

Last week at Finch I got an amazing opportunity. I got to learn all about how to create and manage a Facebook ad from some of the best people in the business. Until now I thought the whole process seemed so easy but now I’m convinced that’s not the case. There are so many different variables that go into making a successful Facebook ad and the motions you have to go through to publish it are really confusing. I guess it takes getting used to but even Sara, Finch’s Facebook guru, admitted to getting a little thrown off by some…

So for the past 2 and-a-half months or so, I’ve been a Copywriting intern at the Philadelphia agency 160over90.  Looking back, I’m pretty lucky that the only agency to give me an interview and an offer a week before the semester started ended up being a place like 160.  For one, they give you a $20/day stipend, so needless to say, I’ve been absolutely ballin’ out these past few months.  Aside from the obvious monetary benefits, I’ve gotten a lot out of my internship here at 160. For one, the whole squad here seems pretty young, I don’t think there…

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 was very useful in the video production department. I never thought I would be editing videos for a job but after taking MURL, the Journalism capstone now referred to as Philadelphia Neighborhoods, I want to thank my professors for believing in each student to keep trying and never give up. They reminded us everyday that learning Final Cut Pro would…

Working as an intern at the Office of Sustainability I have run into many legal issues with design. So far at the office I have to make sure certain brochures and fliers are approved by Temple authorities. One example of a legal issue that I ran into was the use of the Temple “T”. I am not allowed to use the T without permission and I also must not make a T that looks like the Temple T in any of my work. This past Spring I was creating a banner for Campus Sustainability Week and on the banner is…

I started my Spring semester internship with Neiman Group in January and have loved every Monday/Wednesday/Friday since! Neiman Group is located in the 1619 building on Walnut Street, which is the old NBC building. My label at Neiman is New Business Intern, although I’ve had the opportunity to assist various departments at the agency in addition to New Business. I have had the opportunity to better understand the rfp process at Neiman Group and learn about the strategic thinking and planning that goes into making and delivering a pitch. One aspect of interning at the agency that I really like…
