The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
This hilarious commercial has been making quite a splash on the Internet this week. It’s full title is “60 Things in 60 Seconds Your Husband Could Do Instead of Watching TV.” It’s a flawless combination of excellent writing and precise directing. My favorite ‘things’ include: – “That” – Charades –…
I have been keeping up with my internship by also inquiring research on Parkinson’s in my own free time. I have learned that there has recently been clinical trials on Parkinsons regarding Gene Therapy. I find that technology has been a great asset over the years regarding health. I think…
Since I’ve last blogged, I’ve been given the opportunity to help with a presentation to a group of 50 philanthropists from all over the nation who are touring the city. AAI (Avenue of the Arts) has been asked to give a tour and history of the avenue. It’s a chance…
You can probably guess this one. The fact is, 1 in every 13 people on earth has a Facebook account. I’ve sat here trying to come up with a clever comparison to help people understand that crazy statistic, but nothing does it justice. That’s just a lot of people. In…
Treating solids as a kind of typography, French artist Armelle Carnon created a series of poster-style flat wall prints that seek order in the chaotic spirals, winding alleys and misshapen squares of famous cities.

These jobs are not for work study employment and some of the participating organizations are looking to hire…
New York City’s Museum of Moving Image offers users a chance to create their own political TV ad online. You can upload your own media and experiment with different effects and transitions. It may seem like fun and games but if you do a really good job you just might want to add it to…
A simple use of geographic coordinates and wikipedia articles provides us with this simple animation. Displaying what looks like exploding random dots, is actually the location of large amounts of human progression. “Many Wikipedia articles are tagged with geographic coordinates. Many have references to historic events. Cross referencing these two…
I should clarify that the full title is: “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.” Delightfully meta, right? Master of documentaries Morgan Spurlock is back and this time he’s taking aim at the marketing / advertising industries at large. Spurlock’s documentaries are always a lot of fun, so…
My Favorite Standup- Louis CK (not for the faint of will). I’m a huge fan of stand-up. I think some the most creative and insightful people come out of it. It’s a great medium to look to as writers for inspiration and motivation. So much advertising is based on humor…
