We hear CumminsRoss has opened its doors in South Australia with a brand new agency and is looking to meet the most talented and passionate junior designers, art directors, copywriters and creative t...
Stan tells us: if you’ve got questions – ask ‘em. One of the biggest mistakes young people make is not asking enough questions. Which is weird when you think about it, because askin...
Awh, those Kids. Only they could find a story book read by Bowie. Or, right click here to download. Every month we like to profile a young artist/designer/writer/etc via the mixt...
A picture may tell a thousand words, but this isn’t the case when it comes to your folio. Seems like pretty much every young hopeful has a website or online folio these days. Which is probably ...
Go on. Seize it. An opportunity to spend time in the workplace should be viewed as just that. An opportunity. Whether it’s an internship, a placement, or unpaid work experience, opportunities ...
“People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing” — Dale Carnegie
George Patterson Y&R Melbourne is hunting for a junior digital creative design team with the goods, the mustard and the shizzle. It’s a great environment, awesome culture and a strong award...
You know that old adage of you need to learn something 7 times before it becomes a habit? A young art directing wannabe came to show me her folio the other day. As usual I gave her my standard...
Dan Wieden makes sense of television, digital and what’s really at the heart of it all.
We may be in the digital age – but this week Stan reminds us that paper and pen is still king. Last week I did a big presentation to a client I’d never worked with before. In fact we’d only met...
Stan, what are we going to do when people are screens? I’ve heard a lot of talk this week about designing for screens. Mobile screens. Tablet screens. Touch screens. Big versus small screens. Which i...
There’s nothing like a spring clean to get you thinking. I spent the last few days clearing out the cupboards in my study. We’ve lived in our house for almost ten years, so there was a lot of s...
This has been doing the rounds this last little while. But it’s freaking good and needs an extra special mention and a very small introduction.
Juniors, meet Kieran Antill. Originally hailing from Sydney – Kieran is a Creative Director at Leo Burnett in NYC. Not only is he one of the most awarded Art Directors in the universe (voted Ca...
April! We had our first blogger extraordinaire, Lucy Feagins from well known The Design Files. She gets a gazillion hits a month for being the go-to-girl on all matters of design, interiors, and anyt...
Now, Stan‘s not saying you should all become bad-ass Juniors and grow a ponytail like he did in his former years, but a little rebellion never really hurt… “Rules are what the arti...
How often do you wish you could quit your job, and do that thing that you really want to do instead? Yeah? Boom! Maybe you just should. A lot of juniors these days talk about doing personal pr...
If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from all our interviews, it’s that sometimes, you gotta fake it ’til you make it. Because, let’s face it, no matter what university you...
It’s a difficult lesson to learn at first – just because it’s run, doesn’t mean it’s good. Repeat after Stan. I can still remember the very first ad I ever had run. I fe...
Try living by these rules this week. Hat tip to my friend Mona
Jobs. You want ‘em. We got ‘em. Click for deets.
You’ve got to go beyond the checklist if you’re going to land the job of your dreams. Aspiring Creative Checklist: -Website to showcase your work -PDF of work to email to people -A3/A4 po...
When it comes to speaking at Junior – you can’t go wrong with a good ol’ fashion triangle diagram. In what was our first event for 2012, Ben Couzens – CD at Clemenger BBDO Mel...
Toughen up buttercup. It’s worth it in the end. I’m pretty sure if you’re reading this you’ve flicked through an award annual or two or taken a look at an advertising site on the web. And I’m p...
Why? This week, Stan says that’s the most appropriate question to ask. When you show your work to people chances are there are gonna be things that people don’t like. It’s an occupationa...
By leaving the mixtape mixing up to Comeback Kid this was always going to happen. We’ve got a bunch of songs from when we were Juniors. Actual, twee sized juniors. Fun! Or, right click h...
YOU! Focus. In the land of the creative, the idea is king. You can be a good designer. A top notch photographer. Or a damn fine writer. But if that’s all you are, then what you do can generall...
Coming up with the ideas is only one part of what we do. Selling, presenting and most importantly – winning business is the other. But that’s the shit they just don’t teach you in c...
Busy, schmusy. Sometimes you just have to say yes. Last week I needed some creative help on a project. So I rang a few people whose work had impressed me of late to see if they’d be interested in hel...
This week, Stan’s gonna get you thinking about the flip side. I was chatting with some kids about their folio the other day. One of the ads they showed me was for a product that was crying out ...
