The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Before I dig into these ads with my thoughts, I want to say that I fully support this cause. Philadelphia is notorious for being very unfriendly to it’s large bike population. We completely lack bike lanes which are crucial to safety, and we suffer from pothole-itis because of Penndot’s work…
Since the last time I blogged I started thinking about what I was thinking when I started to apply for internships and how that relates to the experiences that I have had so far. When I was looking for internships, I used the Career Center’s website as a jumping…
It’s pretty easy to not stand out in the coffee industry. Hell, Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts have a tough time doing it with what seems like a limitless budget and the opportunity to work with the best in design. Landor created this packaging design for Good Company Coffee. They seem…
Something that has become rather evident to me not only just at my internship this Spring, but also around campus at Temple my senior year is that it is absolutely necessary that you learn the lingo and commonly used terms in your field. I am personally an Art Direction major,…
Working at the National Museum of American Jewish History has been a really great experience. Everyday there is something new to do. While some of the tasks can be a bit tedious, others are very interesting. Today, the department I work in had a business lunch with the director of the…
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…
I’m in my final semester at Temple and on more than one occasion I’ve heard people say that they’ve learned more in this last semester than all the others combined. I don’t agree completely, but I understand where they’re coming from to an extent. I see things differently now after…
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…
