The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
I continued to look through the April issue of GQ magazine. The “special issue” consists of 100 different “hot” things in the year 2012. They have everything from all the best clothes to tips on how to do everything better. I’ve been looking through the magazine layouts for GQ for…
Rebecca Cairns is a photographer from Toronto, Canada but now lives and works in Berlin. Her work reminds me a lot of Francesca Woodman’s and I wouldn’t be surprised if she is a inspiration to her. She does a lot of self portraits which I can really respect because that…
There is too much to say about Francesca Woodman’s life in one simple post on AdLib. But I will say this: I first heard about Francesca last year in my photography class and fell in love with her work. I soon learned that she committed suicide at the age of…
Mary Temple’s work is extremely consistent. Most of her works have to do with space, and light and how they work with each other. Sounds a lot like photography to me, but most of her works are installations, prints, and sculpture. The way she makes the shadows of light in…
If you’re like me and think you don’t want to work for huge international advertising agencies, it can be hard to get in touch with excellent mom-and-pop type studios. I know I was confused and discouraged–their websites might only talk about the two head people and not at all about…
Urban Outfitters is no stranger to being criticized for being anything from too conservative (the company’s CEO donated to Rick Santorum’s campaign against legalizing gay marriage, among other things) to overly controversial (the company caused quite a stir with the message they were sending through their “eat less” shirts). Recently…
I have been interning in the account management department of Tierney for just about three months now, and I must say that the experience is everything I imagined it would be. I came into this internship looking to get a feel for the agency environment and to solidify my belief…
Although, I’ve been working at the Longswamp Tavern as a bartender for over a year, this past semester I also became an intern there. We are located in Macungie, which is about an hour outside of Philadelphia, located near Bear Creek Ski Resort. Being as we are located in a…
If there is one thing that I have learned during my internship at Quaker City Mercantile, it is to be ready for anything. Whether this is the nature of an internship or working at an advertising agency, it is a helpful tidbit to remember. I never really knew what to…
I’ve been interning for the March Of Dimes in King Of Prussia this semester. When I first started I wasn’t completely familiar with the organization and its cause. After a few weeks of interning there, I started to gather that even though the March Of Dimes is a non-profit organization there is…
I met Seun Olubodun almost a year ago. At the time, his business was dependent on ‘trunk shows.’ Since he started Duke & Winston in 2009, Seun has spent countless hours at booths and tables all over the region selling his graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts, and accessories. I experienced it all…
As a technical writing intern at Philadelphia Gas Works that started this January, I haven’t been doing much work related to advertising. Once again, technical writers deal with the communication between a piece of paper and the audience. I always like to use the example of how the manuals that are…
