can i look into your sketchbook
can i gaze into your soul
can i rip out all the pages
can i glue in what fell out
can i build for you a memory
can i create for you a dream
can i dance a dance for only you
can i share what can't be seen
and can i have a page of my own
to look back on and laugh about?

Your whole life is your
portfolio.
And that will always be
who you
are.
I've seen more people come into the
business with a great education. Then they lose touch with what their
career in advertising is supposed to be about. Pretty soon, people
are seduced by client guys. They begin to make small concessions. You
become the assistant creative director's favorite guy--you get a
raise, get married, buy a house. Now you get to rein in the creative
guys in your group. Pretty soon, you become creative director. Big
house, two kids, but now your job is to keep accounts running
smoothly. New management comes in and wants more creative work. They
get a new creative director. New blood. Now this guy has to find a
job with this lousy portfolio. His Art Center degree doesn't mean
anything. People don't burn out--they sell out. Stay true to what's
in your book!- LEE CLOW Chairman and chief creative officer at TBWA
Chiat/Day, Inc., Venice, California. (from a talk at Art Center,
October 13, 1997)
Dream
"You can set your mind to do
anything. Whether you accomplish it is up to you. You work how hard
you want to work, and only you know when you're done, and if it's
good. Whether or not you receive accreditation for your deeds is out
of your hands, but if you know what you did is the best, and you are
proud, that is better than any award given. So display your work for
yourself with pride, in a portfolio, a book, or in your own great
mind."
Ashley Huck
Some of the student works were inspired by the power of
Pablo Neruda's Poetry
It's the words that sing, they soar and descend...I bow to them...I
love them, I cling to them, I run them down, I bite into them, I melt
them down...I love words so much...The unexpected ones...The ones I
wait for greedily or stalk until, suddenly, they drop...Vowels I
love...They glitter like colored stones, they leap like silver fish,
they are foam, thread, metal, dew...I run after certain words...They
are so beautiful that I want to fit them all into my poem...I catch
them in mid-flight, as they buzz past, I trap them, clean them, peel
them, I set myself in front of the dish, they have a crystalline
texture to me, vibrant, ivory, vegetable, oily, like fruit, like
algae, like agates, like olives...And then I stir them, I shake them,
I drink them, I gulp them down, I mash them, I garnish them, I let
them go...I leave them in my poem like stalactites, like slivers of
polished wood, like coals, pickings from a shipwreck, gifts from the
waves...Everything exists in the word.
Pablo Neruda
