Visiting Executive-in-Residence Professor Willie Baronet has been buying and collecting signs made by homeless people for the past 20 years. While this started off as a hobby, he now uses his purchases as artwork to “talk about the concept of home”.

Baronet owned his own advertising firm for 16 years before selling it in 2006, when he decided to go to graduate school at UTD for an MFA in arts and technology. In 2009, he had his first solo art show featuring the signs he purchased from the homeless at Hal Samples Gallery in Deep Ellum.

“It felt like I was coming home,” he says. “For me, art—artistic expression and creativity—that’s where I’ve always felt safe.”

Baronet currently teaches several classes for the Temerlin Advertising Institute, including Introduction to Creativity, Word & Image and Portfolio. He encourages his students to discover their own hobbies and creative passions.

Temerlin senior Paul Curry named Advertising All-Star

SMU advertising major Paul Curry will join 23 other designated All-Stars from around the world in August to compete in a special Art Directors Club challenge to create the best advertising campaign for Ford Motor Company.

Paul-Curry

Curry, a senior at the Temerlin Advertising Institute in SMU Meadow’s School of the Arts, won a slot in the competition and was named an All-Star on May 23 at the regional “Portfolio Night/Dallas.”

“This is the next generation of young creatives,” says Curry. “I look forward to working with them and I’m going to work hard when I’m there.”

Portfolio Night was founded in 2002 by ihaveanidea and is presented by the New York-based Art Directors Club. The event is held annually in multiple cities around the world on the same night. The Dallas Portfolio Night has been hosted by SMU Meadows’ Temerlin Advertising Institute (TAI) for the past two years; this year’s Dallas event partner was TM Advertising.

“Any time you get an opportunity like this you have to treat it like it’s your big break,” Curry says. “I’m going into it with full expectations that I – and my team – can win.”

A camera crew will shoot the entire week of the competition and post webisodes on the Portfolio Night website.

“We will be watching back in Dallas to see the exploits of a hometown hero,” says Steven Edwards, director of the Temerlin Advertising Institute. “Paul represents the best TAI has to offer and we are glad his work will be showcased in the global competition.”

Curry built his portfolio with knowledge gained at SMU in classes such as Concepting and Art Direction Studio. His student projects include campaigns for Texas Instruments and Sherwin-Williams Paint.

TAI Student Wins Silver Pencil at the One Show

TAI senior creative advertising student, Monika Hoang, received a Silver Pencil for her “Guantanamo by the Numbers” infographic during The Yong Ones awards on Tuesday, May 7.  The Young Ones awards is part of The One Show, which takes place each May in New York, New York.

The One Show is considered one of the most prestigious awards shows in advertising, and its coveted Pencil award has been the ultimate achievement in many creatives’ careers. Every year, a panel of 30 creatives from around the world gather for a week and judge nearly 20,000 entries in categories including print, television, billboards and radio. Only the best of the best make the cut—Gold, Silver and Bronze Pencils are given out to fewer than 100 entries every year.
