Ad Muse Nation Re-brand
It's been quiet.
Ad Muse Nation started as my project for a class. It surprised me when it quickly gained views from all over the world. As you may have noticed, I have not shared many posts these last couple of months.
Well, now I've graduated college with my dual bachelors degree in marketing and journalism mass communication. I am ready to be the next version of myself. In that same fashion, I believe Ad Muse Nation is ready for the same.
In light of all the changes and my new era as a young professional I've decided to revive Ad Muse Nation. I will be re-branding it within the next couple of weeks, just in time for my road trip down south for job interviews (fingers crossed-- looking to land something in Austin, TX). This re-branding will include coming up with a new name, a logo and blog strategy.
The new blog, like Ad Muse Nation, will share ads and marketing strategies from all over the world. Along with the reverance for brands, this new blog will focus on my love of culture, traveling, and the outdoors. It will be more of a lifestyle blog than Ad Muse Nation, partially because I will be more than a student. I will be able to share more of my first-hand experiences.
I am quite excited to be blogging again and plan to share often!
Cheers!

Doing the I'm Possible
I'm going to be honest I haven't really felt like I can take on everything I am trying to lately. I am worried I am being too serious about my future to really enjoy the right now.
The right now: it's 9am and I still haven't slept. What a pointless all-nighter. Maybe I can pass on the blame to the double-shot of espresso I slipped into my vanilla cappacino last night. Maybe, and more likely, it's because of the anxiety I need to get over-- it's been getting worse even though people keep telling me it'll all work out in the end.

Recent Developments
Well I have been very bad about posting lately. Want to know why?
I am in my last semester in college. Graduation is too close. Turns out there is a lot I've got to do before I start the next part of my life. I have not slept. I have worried. I know that if I keep working I will power through it all. Between internship hours, working part-time, going to class and an increasing number of commission gigs, I am holding onto every grain of sand in my ever running out hourglass.
I've had some pretty cool commission opportunities lately. I am continuing to design some wine labels for Pour Life Choices, my cousins fiance's friends label. I have also modeled for that label so that other artists can use me for up and coming designs. That was fun. Turns out, not surprisingly, I have a defiance disorder. I just want to do the opposite of what people tell me to do (interesting mix with modeling). I am pretty excited that I have been offered to do artwork for a new wine bar that is opening up soon. It will be a lot of work but it is a great opportunity to leave my mark on this town before I leave it. I will definitely be posting some artwork to show you what I've been working on.
I am so in need of Spring Break, it's not even funny. Even though I was going to, I will not be going on some fancy vacation getaway. I want to take advantage of some "free time" to actually get going on my job search (along with the million and one projects I must attend to). Right now I feel so behind. Is this how everyone my age feels? Completely unprepared and overwhelmed?
I will return to posting at a higher frequency once I take care of my work. Blogging is not easy when time management is next to impossible!
Any requests for posts?
Cheers!

The New Beauty Ideal: Barbies for the Future
This
past weekend Mattel announced that it is updating its notorious Barbie doll to
be more diverse with additions of body types that include curvy, petite and
tall forms, according to TIME.The new Barbie dolls also will have a variety of skin tones and hairstyles. This
should increase Barbie’s market, allowing a greater variety of young girls to
have dolls they can personally identify with; the dolls look more like them
rather than a standardized ideal.
