My name is Abigail Cane, and I’m a rising senior at Temple. My major is in Advertising with a concentration in Brand Strategy and Research, and I have a minor in Public Relations. For the past couple of months, I’ve been interning at Finch Brands, a brand consulting agency in the heart of Philadelphia. My role at Finch Brands is titled ‘Fashion Inights Intern…

There are so many people all around and it seems as if no one is paying you any mind. You’re the newbie on the block. Making friends can become difficult, but once you start meeting people within your training and getting to know the people around your designated space…

Although it is just a concept, it is probably one of the better ambient/viral tactics I’ve seen in recent years. One thing I’m not sure about is the agency, I honestly think they’re fake.

A thought like (excuse my French) “what the fuck is happening right now?” This is exactly what I think when I see the Illustrations by Lamar Peterson, and it is awesome!

The Landing is a jazz club in San Antonio, I can’t think of many well designed jazz club identities, Jamie on the other hand killed it with this one.

It was a huge trend that picked up on a mainstream scale in the late 90’s and has continued to gain popularity among the public. Unfortunately with public recognition comes what some would call the demise of street art. Many critics of street art as well as ex-street artists, feel that street art is now played out or dead.

Philadelphia is notorious for being very unfriendly to it’s large bike population.

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 to be a robust multi-country agency. As a web junkie, I always critique each agency’s site when I visit.
