The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
The title of this blog is very unusual, much like my internship experience at Quaker City Mercantile. I started interning at QCM in October and had no idea what the experience would be like. This was my first internship, and although I do well in my classes being out in…
This project is the idea of Candy Chang: “Many cities are full of vacant storefronts and people who need things. My New Orleans neighborhood is still without a full service grocery store. So I made these fill-in-the-blank stickers to provide an easy tool to voice what we want, where we…
The bottom reads: “Historically Hardcore.” What a great angle- especially coming from an institution as regarded as the Smithsonian! Check out two other examples on the most excellent Behance Network. Update: I wrongly appropriated these ads to the Smithsonian, when in fact they were done as spec by the very…
After the earthquake in Japan last Friday, social media like Twitter and Facebook helped people in Japan communicate with one another and those outside of the country despite the chaos.

In the couple of weeks leading up to spring break, I was given the task of repositioning Kia for a portfolio (class) assignment. We first had to write a letter selling our idea (to the CEO… professor) and then follow that up with some print executions. I think the only…

The Truman Show: “On Air. Unaware.“ Movie taglines are a great writing exercise. They’ve gotta be intriguing, short, and most importantly: sum up the tone of the movie.
