Okay okay, I know I've been gone for a little bit...about 6 months actually. BUT I'm back. I've been really busy and it's been hard just to find time to sleep but I know that's not an excuse. So just to catch up.
I've been working on plenty of stuff here at Deutsch. With Live Out Loud, Michal J. Fox Foundation, Tylenol, and of course, PNC keeping me busy here, I have to say, it's been a bit hectic.
Lately I've been finding myself waking up earlier and earlier. Just last night, I was busting my ass on the Kodak Web presenation (this is the first time I've worked on this) and I actually left work around 9pm. I told myself I'm going to sleep in so I didn't set my alarm. Guess what time I woke up?.....7:30.....and I thought I was late. Jeez.
So anyways, I will bid farewell now since I'm at work. I will post up some work that I've been doing really soon so stay tuned! (no rhyming intended).

A little bit of Deutsch in me...
So it keeps getting longer...the intervals between blogs that is. Since there is a little break in between, I thought it'd be nice to actually post something. I'm sure all my subscribers (both of you) have pretty much lost interest in follow my blog just as much as I've lost interest in keeping it updated...hahaha.
Anyways, so it's June and I only have a few weeks left here at Deutsch Inc. It's been an amazing experience. I've definitely grown into my own as an art director here. Just seeing the amazingly hard work that goes into each project, the attention to detail, and workign with the most consistent and attentive art directors and creative directors have really given me a new appreciation, and a better motivation, to become even better then I am now. No, it's not like I think I am all that and a bag of chips but I know that I've definitely gained more skill and developed a faster method for concepting and executing than before. I also understand the business and the methodology that goes into working at an agency as well.
So to give a quick recap on what's been going on so far. The past couple of months have been really hectic here. With all the Live Out Loud stuff (liveoutloud.info) and the PNC pitch, I've been working really hard and really late. First, the Live Out Loud. The event on 4/27 (I'll never forget that date, I put it on so many things) was a success. I saw all my pieces that I created "come to life" and plastered all over the place. It was a very surreal experience. I was surrounded by my own produced work and everyone was complimenting me on it! It gave me chills. Too bad I had forgotten to charge my battery of my camera and couldn't take any pictures. I found a photographer that was working for the event and asked him to take a few pictures for me but I haven't heard from him so we'll see where it goes. I so need it for my portfolio!!!!!
Next up was a bunch of stuff like: (since I can't say anything bad, check out the faces for what I think of them)
Ortho (ThePill.com) :-O
Excelon ?-I
Sheraton >:-I
Tylenol :-)
Micheal J. Fox Foundation ;-)
But I can honestly say nothing beats working on a new business pitch. I worked for the past few weeks on the PNC Bank pitch that I hope Deutsch ends up winning. We worked really hard. A lot of late nights and weekends for me but they did much more than I ever could. At least I helped out and some of the things I created went to the pitch. It all makes the hell weeks worth it.
Anyway, just found out where I'm heading to next on my little adventure. I can't believe I'm already half way over with this Fellowship program. It's flying by but been really really fun and inspirational. I definitely picked the right industry for my career. Beats the Navy any day, man!
Alright, till the next time. Maybe I will even post pictures or videos....wooooooohhh.

Finally
Okay so finally back to this thing. I feel so bad for not updating this blog for 3 months! Man, I'm slacking. There's so much that happened since my last blog it's not even funny so I just better get started.
So leaving Draftfcb was a pretty hard thing to do. It was a fantastic experience and I learned so much from just being there for 6 months. But all in all I think it was a good time to go. I mean, I was only working on one client, Gevalia, and working with the same people. They were great by the way, but looking at the big picture, I think it would have been limited by the confines of one client, one kind of advertising (direct marketing), and one group of people.
So on to Deutsch...man, what a difference! At first, I was a little apprehensive on how they would perceive me. Would I be an intern to them, extra help, or just "that guy" in the cubicle who no one knew what he did....okay so a first couple of weeks, I was BUT now, oh man. I have been working my butt off and it's been very satisfying. I've had my ups and downs with the projects sometimes. Not really like I felt I couldn't do it but more like I don't have enough time to do it. The big difference between Draftfcb and Deutsch is the REALLY REALLY fast turn around time. I think I had about 2 weeks in total to concept, comp, and present to account team at Draftfcb but at Deutsch, I'm lucky if I have a week. Now it's not every project but it's most and it's teaching me to hustle hustle hustle. I don't really doddle or anything any way but there is definitely little time to kick back my feet and really explore anything too much. It's have an idea and then go.
So with that being said here is a I've worked on some pretty nice clients. Definitely more than one and definitely not coffee. Instead of telling you, here are some examples. And remember, this is not all my ideas. I just worked on them (ie. layout, colors, illustration, etc....you know art direction stuff).
By the way, the one with the cups went to Cannes. Cross your fingers!
