ever since i took my first advertising class freshman year, survey of advertising, i fell in love with the major. now i am a junior and i am still just as in love with it as i was at the start. from advertising media, to intro to creativity, to advertising ethics, i haven't taken an advertising class that i haven't enjoyed. how can i not love a subject that allows me to "study" by simply turning on the tv and recognize and apply what i have learned. this semester i am in intro to creativity and it has shown me a whole new side of advertising, as before i wasn't as aware of what all went on on the creative side. before this class, i always thought the creative side wasn't for me. i was definitely one of those people that thought that creative people were simply born and that i would never be one of them. so far, this course is proving me to be horribly wrong in that belief. before the semester even started, when i picked up my books i knew that i was definitely going to enjoy my advertising classes this semester. it took one quick look at the cover and flip through the book for me too remember exactly why i liked advertising, the freedom. not many other majors can get away with having a textbook of this style, but this book reminds me of the core of advertising, which is creativity. whether its on the management side or the creative side, creativity is used throughout the whole industry. recognizing this, i've actually used a few of the techniques and suggestions in the book and i truly feel my creative juices flowing and i am finding myself working harder and harder to become more creative, since it does, in fact, take practice. this course has simply reminded me of why i was drawn to advertising in the first place.
*i realize this blog is for my intro to creativity class, and i am not trying to suck up in anyway, but if a certain teacher happened to read this post, a few brownie points wouldn't hurt...just kidding...but really...
