I was wondering how long it would be before one of these things would show up....

One week in......

...and I'm back in the swing of things at the Brandcenter. All my professors have given me an ample amount of work on the first days of each class. All and all I havent really done much yet nor do I feel really overworked so its been a really smooth start to the semester.

Since there's nothing exciting to talk about pertaining to school I do want to talk about my glorious East Coast Tour the 2 weeks prior to starting school. In one weekend I went from New York to Maryland by bus, then Maryland down to Richmond (Virginia) by car to take a hot August afternoon to move my stuff out of my old place and into my new place, and back up to Maryland from Richmond on the same day, and then back to New York from Maryland on the next day by bus. After taking a one week break from my tour to go to work at my internship and move out of my place in Brooklyn, I went over to my Uncle's house in Long Island to enjoy a small one day vacation in the suburbs, then the next day I drove back down to Maryland, and the day after that I drove down to Richmond again to begin my second year at the Brandcenter.

Wow what a tour!!

Till next time my imaginary followers!!

So yeah I really suck at blogging....

So I was right to start my last post with "So apparently I suck at blogging...." because its been a month since that last post. This is probably why I have such a large audience of imaginary followers on this blog.

Anywho, today is the last day of my internship with G2 in New York City. Overall it was great experience. I learned a lot and I got to work on really cool brands like Dos Equis, Heineken, M&Ms, V8, and even Covergirl. I think splitting my time between G2 Branding & Design in the beginning of the summer and G2 Interactive at the second half really helped in making this summer be a very great experience for me. I have yet to work with copywriter and this is the second time I've worked as an Art Director at an Ad Agency but seeing as how I'm probably not going the traditional creative route anyway with me studying Creative Technology at the Brandcenter it probably doesn't matter. The people here were great to work with and coupled with all the other stuff I think G2 would definitely be in my mind when next Spring I start thinking about getting a job and working for the man again.

Last week the G2 interns presented our intern projects. We got split into 2 groups and we were tasked with marketing G2 to college grads and entry level applicants. Since we were split into 2 groups and both groups were working on the same project I took it that we were competing against each other. I had no problem in making sure that our presentation was more professional, more plausible in the real world, and better in every way possible than the other groups project. I wanted to destroy the other group. I definitely felt like we succeeded in doing those things. Not only were more questions asked after our presentation but people left during the other group's presentation.  Granted the other group went second, they decided a 10+ minute video was all the presentation they needed. Man we destroyed them. 

Its been a great summer. I just wished I spent more time enjoying myself and less time working like a dog. Classes start again next week. Sigh. I definitely wished I spent more time enjoying myself.....

Till next time imaginary followers and I promise that next time will be much sooner.
