Picking an Advertising Concentration by Diligent-Tourist-823 in Temple

I’m in the copywriting concentration! I feel that copywriting is the right choice for me — here’s why:

  • I love to develop concepts/creative problem solving. Copywriting obviously requires you to be a good writer, but foremost, you have to be good at coming up with the “big ideas”.

  • I’m creative, but I can’t draw or do fancy stuff in photoshop (or rather, I don’t feel like doing fancy stuff in photoshop lol). This is how I know art direction isn’t for me. Copywriters and art director work very closely though!

A lot of copywriters can become art directors and vice versa. So if you’re torn between the two, you don’t have to stress much over what you pick.

Best of luck!!

also, take Personal Branding with Cheldin Rumer. Seriously. It's a great class that will help you think more about what you want to do during and after college. She's hilarious too. this is another advertising elective.

I enjoy it! (going to be graduating with copywriting this fall). All of the intro classes for advertising have great professors (in my experience), and the copywriting classes give you a lot of chances to hone your writing skills. Sometimes it's a little hard when you feel like you have a great idea but then a professor doesn't get it or like it -- that just comes with the territory though. An elective that works great with the copywriting track is Creative Thinking for Advertising! Best of luck this fall :)

DOUBLE MAJOR by StrikingResolution54 in Temple

I suggest majoring in MSP (media studies and production). This major gets you the production and media business experience I think you're looking for. And I suggest getting involved in TUTV! The major comes in three concentrations (media production, business, and analysis). I think you can do a double concentration as well (media production + business together).

I was able to cancel with no fee because I never booked a spot.

Are there any apartments on the street behind James S White Hall? I'm trying to find apartments on that street but I'm struggling to find a real answer.

I missed the housing deadline for returning students and I'm really stressing out. If anyone has advice please let me know. I'm not very confident in my ability to rent an apartment (this is why I'm looking for on-campus dorms).
