The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
Aside from designing some really cool content at Maiden Media Group, I have found that my favorite part of my internship has been immersing myself in a variety of other departments and activities. We have been taught in classes and heard from guest speakers for years that the best…
Seth Godin is a marketing heavyweight (a quick trip to his Wiki will attest to that). I came across a blog post by him recently, and knew I had to share it here. He writes a very insightful post on clichés and how to use them to your advantage. Here’s…
Gerd Arntz, a graphic designer from the early 1900’s is probably one of the most implicitly secret inspirations of today’s design. What may seem like clip art to the average person, is a collection of prints created by Gerd. He displayed political wrongs and social movements through simple one color…
Studying abroad can be a great experience in your college career. Vacationing at these places is much more different than going to actually learn about a country, embrace its culture and gain college credits. If you love traveling you should definitely check this out! Semester in Brazil Info Session…
One of the coolest things about going to Temple is all of the opportunities we get to watch free early screenings of movies. The Adjustment Bureau was more of a love story as opposed to an action packed film but it was interesting nonetheless. It will make you question minor…
The soda and beer industry are using a variety of new methods to promote their low-cal variations of beverages. Two “cans” that stand out especially are Michelob Ultra, and the newest 10-calorie Dr Pepper TEN. Michelob, known as one of the lowest calorie beers on the market, now has cans…
I’ve been interning at Two 1 Five Design Group for couple of weeks now. I think it’s different from other internships because not only do you learn your responsibility but the responsibility of the whole process from start to finish. It’s basically a learning experience to teach you how to…
This is my second semester interning at LevLane. I work with the media department to buy, plan, and track media for our clients KFC, Taco Bell, Kennedy Health and others. For the last couple of months I have been working on Overnights, creating media proposals, and invoicing. I recently did…
The Parkinson Council has an upcoming event that many might be interested in. As you all know by now, I am interning with the Parkinson Council, helping them advertise for these upcoming events. The first major event is on April 16th 2011, the 10th annual Walk for Parkinson’s in Philadelphia. Registration for the event can be…
It was only a matter of time before I encountered my first deadline experience in the “real” world of advertising. The word “deadline” originated in 1855, and referred to “a boundary around a military prison beyond which a prisoner could not venture without risk of being shot by the guards.”…
The agency Moving Brands, created this new identity for “All About Tea” based in Portsmouth, UK. Their execution makes sense based on the brief: “Moving Brands were tasked with creating a new identity that would stand out in a “sea of sameness.” The identity needed to work effectively across their…
Information design, AKA infographs, are getting increasingly popular every day, week, month, year. Personally I find them tough to do, basically because it is really easy to make them look cheesy. In this primarily image heavy post I am featuring the work of Christoph Almasy. His information design is unparalleled…
