Moore Ave. The Lenfest Institute at Temple University is a part of the North Philadelphia Workforce Initiative and is a community outreach program. Throughout my time with the institute, I was able to put my major into my work and develop advertisements. One of the projects I worked on…

Hidden Message in Ad for Children at Risk https://templeadlib.com/hidden-message-in-ad-for-children-at-risk/ https://templeadlib.com/hidden-message-in-ad-for-children-at-risk/#respond Mon, 06 May 2013 19:50:08 +0000 https://smc.temple.edu/adlib/?p=14275 A friend of mine posted a video on their Facebook about an ad that really caught my eye because of the deep thought and idea execution of the designers behind it. The ANAR Foundation is a Spanish child-advocacy organization that has an anonymous telephone line for teens and children who are under a risk situation. For the international day against child abuse, Grey Spain worked with ANAR to design…

The ad was placed up and down the streets surrounding the racetrack in the days leading up to and the day of the event. The message drawn across through the ad is to bring awareness to the misuse of both therapeutic and illegal…

“Design is creativity with strategy.” https://templeadlib.com/design-is-creativity-with-strategy/ https://templeadlib.com/design-is-creativity-with-strategy/#respond Mon, 02 Apr 2012 19:03:51 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=11270 Students at Temple see thousands of advertisements on campus each day. Some are hung on bulletin boards; others are passed out on Liacouras Walk. But the ads and event posters hanging in the Louis J. Esposito Dining Center and the Valaida S. Walker Food Court in the Student Center—are made by me and the rest of the marketing team at Sodexo! Sodexo is in charge of all dining services here at…

Happy Holidays! https://templeadlib.com/happy-holidays/ https://templeadlib.com/happy-holidays/#respond Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:14:03 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=8636 Its that time of year again folks–that festive part of the year when people will take any excuse to throw a party involving ugly sweaters or the phrase “potluck”. At this time of year more than any other I think its easy to get lost in the design shuffle; all the colors and themes are the same and it often feels like everyone has had every possible holiday idea at least twice. On the other hand…

Photography vs. Illustration https://templeadlib.com/photography-vs-illustration/ https://templeadlib.com/photography-vs-illustration/#respond Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:13:19 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=8132 Although both have their place in posters, sometimes it can be a tough call which to use. The size of the poster/flyer and its placement are factors, and so is the kind of event you are promoting. College party promoters usually use pictures of women; they appeal to a very wide audience and easily catch your eye. We’ve all seen the flyers for different sponsored and themed parties like Ride Dat…

It seems obvious, but when looking for jobs and places to live post-grad its a helpful reminder. Especially with the ever-increasing permeance of the Internet, small or rural design studios are able to have a larger and more diverse client base. New York and London are alluring, especially when you’re aiming for an career fast…

The Roots https://templeadlib.com/the-roots/ https://templeadlib.com/the-roots/#respond Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:20:05 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=8678 Since I’m pretty sure most of the people who read this blog are under 60 and live in the Philadelphia area, I’m going to assume you’ve heard of The Roots. As one of the most influential bands to the funk, neo-soul and hip-hop zeitgeist of the last 10+ years, (I didn’t know it had been that long), The Roots have toured the globe. They regularly preform at sold-out shows, festivals…

Push Me Pull You Designs, her semi-one-man illustration machine since 2005, does all types of design from greeting cards to apparel as well as branding, product design, and logo design.

Located on 4th and South, its been around since the 70’s when it was an actual theater showing grindhouse films; today its a venue for mostly rock and hip-hop acts, although I go there a lot for electro shows as well. Its mid-size (about 1,000 people)…

If you don’t know/love Saul Bass already, you’re missing out on a world of inspiration. In fact, a lot of his work is probably familiar without having actually heard the name responsible for the genius, so allow me to introduce you. I was definitely surprised at what I learned just reading his wikipedia. Saul Bass, (May 8…

John Solimine is a huge name in illustration and design. With over 12 years in the biz he’s done work for Lollapalooza, the National, Fuse, NPR, the Chicago Tribune, American Express, and Nike, to name a few, (the list goes on and on), and each piece is amazingly dynamic and imaginative. His illustrations seem to tell a story in the blink of an eye…

Typography Posters https://templeadlib.com/typography-posters/ https://templeadlib.com/typography-posters/#comments Mon, 03 Oct 2011 01:35:39 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=7945 The project my Art Direction class is working on right now is to make a typography-driven print piece for a PSA about texting and driving. Working on it has made me realize how odd typography is as a medium, and how much I love it. The form vs. function balance is so interesting, especially in advertising-driven designs; when does readability hit the back burner in favor of shape, texture…

Queens of the Stone Age vs. Andrew Bird https://templeadlib.com/queens-of-the-stone-age-vs-andrew-bird/ https://templeadlib.com/queens-of-the-stone-age-vs-andrew-bird/#respond Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:35:41 +0000 https://www.templeadlib.com/?p=7948 Lets talk for a second about Queens of the Stone Age. Musicians like to present their fans with a full range of experience, (and therefore merch). The band has a sound, the members have a look, and their merch is always carefully designed to a tee whether its clothes, stickers, album art, or my favorite, gig posters. I am not much into Queens of the Stone Age so I never realized this but they are…

Inspirational posters, for example, need only have only one word on them, (ie the classic “Conviction” or “Perseverance” posters that hung on the walls of every guidance counselor office from 1960 til today), while tour or movie posters need to have names, dates, times, taglines…

They have to be interesting, quickly catch the eye of anyone walking past them intent on beating the rush to Starbucks or whatever, but at the same time the person glancing at them has be able to quickly read whatever information is there. Even if there’s a lot of information to cover, it shouldn’t all be jammed together so you can’t read it…

All of her art is amazing, but her posters are what drew me in at first glance, (at a tiny thumbnail on gigposters.com, no less). Her prints are imaginative and colorful, filled with impossible animals and scenes that look like they came out of a similar universe as Where the Wild Things Are. She doesn’t make digital posters; all of her art is hand printed on a press using a…

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.
