Hey AdClub,
Just wanted to share some news about an awesome visitor we had this past Tuesday! Adam Gavfert, an advertising student from Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden, came to our meeting this past week as a part of his project called College Drop-in. Basically, for this project Adam wanted to portray American college culture and school spirit by traveling to the US and visiting a college campus. After looking at hundreds of schools across the nation, he chose the University of Georgia based on its college culture and reputable advertising program. He spent the past week talking to students, experiencing Athens daily life, and documenting his trip on a website (collegedropin.com), which will be displayed at his graduate exhibition. I'd encourage you guys to check out the project (we got a featured post!) and take a look at his portfolio for more information and inspiration. And please feel free to contact him at adam.gafvert@beckmans.se if you want to talk to him!
