The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
I have been interning at The Nouveau Image for about two months now. As I mentioned in my last post it has been a very interesting, and awarding experience. This experience, however, has allowed me to explore something that I have not been able to experience in the classroom. What…
And I mean that in a good way. I started an account management internship at the Brownstein Group in January. The Brownstein Group is a full service advertising agency in Center City. Some of their clients include IKEA, Comcast SportsNet, and the Philadelphia Auto Show. Before starting my experience, I…
A couple of days ago we had a discussion about genericide in Morality and Law (ad course). While I like this ad especially given how old it is, this wouldn’t fly today. I don’t really think genericide is a problem unless I dislike the dominant brand. So what is…

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.
