 | Long Time No Talk Posted by Matthew Weiner on Thu 28 Aug 2008 at 07.11.00 am |
| Hey everyone. Sorry it's been so long since my last post and sorry I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. I just accepted a job and will be starting in less than a month. I'm the newest Interactive Copywriter at an agency which will remain nameless until a later date. Also, I just launched my website. Check it out at http://bigween.com/ and let me know what you think. I'm still working out the kinks and I'd appreciate as much feedback as possible. Thanks. I'll try and get back to writing on here on a more regular basis. ... | |

 | Just another American Posted by Michael on Wed 27 Aug 2008 at 11.31.00 pm |
| It’s strange to see other Americans walking the streets of Zacatlán. It’s just not a tourist town. When I see another American walking the streets my eyes light up, and I am proud to see living proof that people of my kind still exist. They’re not just mythical figures I type to in e-mails – for all I know everyone back home could have been replaced by robots. Usually I want to talk to these other Americans and get to know them. Because there is something comforting in hearing your native tongue come from someone other than yourself. Normally if I... | |

 | HOW'D YOU GET IN: Neil French Posted by Brendan on Wed 27 Aug 2008 at 12.13.00 am |
| We're pleased to announce a brand new regular feature here on ACADEMIA. It's called 'HOW'D YOU GET IN' and it'll be a bi-weekly column that will focus on a well known Creative Director and how he/she got into the business. Those of you who've been around for a few years will remember that I had a pretty interesting story about breaking in, but I've got nothing on the likes of Neil French, Luke Sullivan, Ty Montegue and Lee Garfinkel - all of whom will be featured in upcoming installments of HOW'D YOU GET IN. They'll be joined by top Creative... | |

 | Comedy Script Posted by Aron Tipton on Tue 26 Aug 2008 at 10.34.00 pm |
| Recently, we had to tell a story based on a random visual in our Brainstorming class. My visual was that of a female boxer. Not one to do an assignment within the normal guidelines, I decided to write a short excerpt of a sitcom script instead of a narrative. I have posted the scenes I wrote in hopes that someone might comment back and give me a small bit of confirmation that I have the ability to write humorous material that not I alone believes is funny. Enjoy! [Interior] A New York City apartment {Open} Mark enters the apartment and goes... | |

 | Recharging your batteries Posted by LEBOW on Tue 26 Aug 2008 at 11.47.00 am |
| It was an interesting summer. As many of you that read my blog are aware, it’s been a while since I posted. This summer, work slowed down. As an independent businessman, this year was much different than last. I have heard from several in different parts of the industry (and other industries) saying they were extremely quiet. Right down the line…printers, staffing companies, photographers, etc. That ugly "recession" word is being thrown around. Many (including myself) spent the summer hustling to bring in some new work or to find the next gig. I have always compared this to going fishing. It doesn’t matter if... | |

 | Best Advice Yet Posted by ZeeFern on Sun 24 Aug 2008 at 04.53.00 pm |
| EVERY ASSIGNMENT, EVERY DAY That insight was supplied by arguably one of BrandCenter's most demanding professors during orientation. At the BrandCenter, we're assigned a decent amount of work, but it's staggering how much work & time is required to complete a seemingly simple assignment. Everyone frets over time management and the ever-elusive feeling of "Balance." Don Just told us straight up, the only way to maintain a reign on it is with, Every Assignment, Every Day. Ordinarily, I, like many others I assume, work only on whatever subject is due. Rarely have I tried to dedicate some time towards subjects with... | |
