The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
A vital gem . . . a kick in the ass. (Esquire) Anyone who has encountered this book seems to be affected by it deeply. Check the reviews on Amazon, they’re frighteningly positive. How about that title, too? Classic switcheroo. I’m going to be honest with you- I don’t like…
It goes by many names: writer’s block, apathy, brain freeze, brain fart, uncreative, unimaginative, and most of all unmotivated. We’ve all been there. In our line of work it’s important to be able to flick on the creativity switch at any given time. I recently came across a quick single-serving…
Stated to not be available until June, the $99 tablet for taking “digi-notes” won’t necessarily compete with the iPad, and that’s not the point. At least I don’t think so. The idea is something that has been exaggerated about for years in movies and publications, now we are finally shedding…

As far as I’m concerned, this is the first funny commercial of the year. AT&T takes a stab at repositioning its intentionally unmentioned competition. There has been much back and forth between AT&T and Verizon legally and commercially about who’s fastest and I still don’t know honestly. From my understanding,…
Radio Shack is one of those brands that makes me wonder how it’s still around. I’ve never purchased anything from there that lasted more than two years. Before I found a better option, I was using earbuds that required a converter to work with my phone– a converter sold only…
(In high-resolution, too!) The Art Project by Google offers you the opportunity to explore art museums from NYC to London to Prague using “Street View” technology. You can zoom in to artworks of interest and expand the information panel to read more about an artwork. You are given options to…
I heart logos season two has just begun. This is the only design competition of its kind. Anyone can submit. ($10 submission fee per logo entry). You can submit as many as you’d like. And the submission period goes until August 31, 2011. After the submission period ends, the voting…
With winter in full swing, many individuals–including this author–are seeking the solace of comfort foods. It only make sense for advertisers to try to appeal to this hankering–or in my case, weakness–of cold weather commuters to try a warm bowl of soup. Today, Apple released results from a self funded…
Egypt and Tunisia keep getting mentioned both on the news and on campus. We hear names like Hosni Mubarak and Ben Ali but who are they and what have they done to piss so many people off? Get into the loop of what is potentially history in the making. PANEL…
