Internship at Creative Video

So far at Creative Video, I’ve learned how to work in programs like Edius and eventually After Effects. I was hired as a graphic designer but has had the opportunity to work in video production because of experience I’ve gained from MURL, the capstone Journalism course. I think the best part of having an internship is working outside of the classroom; being able to learn exactly what’s going on in the field. I love going to my internship and this helps remind me that I’ve made a great decision to go into this field. I love art and design but…

My internship at the Fox School of Business!!!

Welcome to the PR Workroom! My name is Chiara Brunori, and I am a marketing/pr intern for the Fox School of Business. I am currently a senior advertising major, focusing on account management.  Being a second semester senior is tough work. Between upper level courses, extra curricular, and an internship life can get pretty hectic, but with proper planning it all seems to work out! Every Monday and Thursday I go to my internship on the third floor dean’s suite in the Fox School of Business. I work with three other interns. Even though I have only been interning for…

1Billion Hungry

Well this completely relates to the project that most Art Direction two students just finished, and what some graphic design majors are still working on. 1Billion Hungry is a campaign that is a little more edgy than anything City Harvest has done. Rightfully so, I feel they are generating a way bigger response and gathering much more support. Maybe City Harvest should take notes. The furious campaign was developed/created by Francesco Basile. This video is quite interesting and I enjoy the website as well.

Disastro Ecologico

Here’s a throwback design related post. It’s modern with old techniques. It’s been done but it’s fresh. Alberto Seveso is his name, and guess what? He is Italian if you haven’t gotten that from his name or the title already. He’s created ultra-realistic flowing smoke scenes out of ink and water. INK AND WATER! There’s so much motion here that it kind of depresses you the more you look at it. It depresses you in the way that no matter how hard you try, there’s no damn way you can recreate something this good looking with ink and water. Bravo…

Starring Eminem: Super Bowl Ads 2011

This super bowl series of commercials was filled with themes of violence, nostalgia, references to the actual making of a commercial (within a commercial), the havock that may ensue while house-sitting, and…. Eminem? The rapper’s first appearance came in the form of a half-cartoon-character version of Eminem, starring in a Brisk commercial. The next ad in which Eminem starred was Chrysler’s “Motor City” spot. Unfortunately for Chrysler, the angry character figure of Eminem from Brisk who appeared first in the series of ads ended the commercial furiously screaming “SEE?! THIS IS WHY I DON’T DO COMMERCIALS!”… And then a few…

The War Of Art

A vital gem . . . a kick in the ass. (Esquire) Anyone who has encountered this book seems to be affected by it deeply. Check the reviews on Amazon, they’re frighteningly positive. How about that title, too? Classic switcheroo. I’m going to be honest with you- I don’t like to read. I know I should, but I don’t. So the idea of reading some sort of self-help book would normally be repulsive to me. But this book is truly invigorating. It’s a must have for anyone entering a creative field. Do it.

Unmotivated? I’ve got the site for you…

It goes by many names: writer’s block, apathy, brain freeze, brain fart, uncreative, unimaginative, and most of all unmotivated. We’ve all been there. In our line of work it’s important to be able to flick on the creativity switch at any given time. I recently came across a quick single-serving website that may be just what you need. It’s aptly titled: IfeelUnmotivated.com I’ve been on it for about 30 minutes and I’ve watched a scene from Glenngary Glen Ross, read a quote by Sid Vicious, and saw and awesome picture of a polar bear. It’s a random collection of all…

Electronic Paper – The Note Slate

Stated to not be available until June, the $99 tablet for taking “digi-notes” won’t necessarily compete with the iPad, and that’s not the point. At least I don’t think so. The idea is something that has been exaggerated about for years in movies and publications, now we are finally shedding some light on an actual product. It will come in the standard black on white, white on black, and blue, green, or red text and pictures. 13 inches tall with a 750 x 1080 pixel display, weighs about half a pound and apparently 180 hours of battery life make this…
