Yes Mom, Making Art is a Real Job.

Dan Kim — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 13:44:57 +0000

My name is Daniel Kim, I’m a first generation Korean-American with a huge passion for anything unordinary, abstract, and sometimes weird, but being weird is cool! At the time of writing this, I’m a senior ready to graduate, soon to have a Bachelor Degree of Arts in Advertising with an Art Direction concentration. Graduating in May is both exciting and scary for a creative, because I don’t want to…

dare to step outside your comfort zone

Maritza Lemus — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 17:12:40 +0000

I am a transfer student and senior majoring Advertising with a concentration in Art Direction. I started out as a Criminal Justice major at Northampton Community College for two years. It took me a while to realize that I wanted to do something that made me feel complete and happy inside and not what everyone else wanted. The best advice I have for anyone out there that feels small and confused…

Play hard, Network harder

Dyymond Whipper-Young — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 17:58:08 +0000

I found my internship at a rooftop party hosted by Larry Fitzgerald in Phoenix, Arizona. The route to my internship was very unconventional, but a story worth telling. I am a senior at Temple University majoring in Advertising on an art direction track with a minor in entrepreneurship. I am deeply rooted into the fine arts, beginning my college career at Tyler School of Art. Although art is no…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pfxB5ut-KTs Evian strikes gold with another spot focusing on their “Live Young” branding and providing us with yet again a video featuring adorable babies, Evian’s signature. This time, instead of just showing the inner child that Evian’s water brings out in drinkers because of the pure quality, the brand decided to take the story a…

Baubauhous

Katie Schmitt — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:18:24 +0000

Baubauhaus is a little bit like pinterest but for serious artists that just want to inspire each other. It’s a simple idea, full of great art. I found this site through a friend of mine, whom I will feature here on AdLib soon! Get ready for that one. Started by two guys from Romania – Stefan Lucut & Andrei Don, do this in their free time, and are constantly working to make baubauhaus better.

Franziska Ebert: Photographer, Designer & Illustrator

Katie Schmitt — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:37:28 +0000

Franziska Ebert is a photographer/designer/illustrator out of Hamburg Germany, and I believe is friends with Sarah Bernhard (whom I wrote about a few weeks ago). Looking through her website honestly freaks me out a little because her photographs remind me so much of my own. Except she is making a living out of it. (I’m hopeful) Her portraiture is beautiful and simple. She really knows how to…

“Kinfolk is a growing community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings. We’ve created Kinfolk as our collaborative way of advocating the natural approach to entertaining that we love” – Kinfolkmag.com I love this idea of simple art. The community of artists that contribute to Kinfolk are doing it for one reason and one reason only, because they love spending time together.

Interview with David D’Andrea

Maia R. Wilkes — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:37:05 +0000

Juxtapoz sat down with poster artists David D’Andrea a couple of years ago for their (then upcoming) Fog Rising event in San Francisco. For such a short interview, it really has a lot of insight about D’Andrea’s design process and the relation of visual art to aural art. I recognize D’Andrea’s poster for Queens of the Stone Age, (they may be terrible but its still a sick poster).

Event Posters: Tips & Inspiration

Maia R. Wilkes — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 18:33:58 +0000

Posters are a boundary-crossing type of design. Since the invention of the lithographic press in the 1800’s they’ve been the art of music and theater; today they’re used to let you know about everything from films to societal protest. To be effective, posters have to do several things effectively: they have to catch your eye and tell you all the important important information quickly.
