Member Profile: Andrea Gourley
Employer: SKAR
Advertising Job Position: Art
Director/SKARface How long have you been a member of
AAF Omaha? As a student, two years. As a
professional, about eight months. Why did you join AAF
Omaha? To get more involved in the design
community and meet other designers. Who got you involved and how has
involvement benefitted you? My art professors urged me to join
so I could enter design competitions and go to events such as "Meet
the Pros." At MTP I was given the opportunity to network with
professionals in the design industry, which gave me a better
understanding of which agencies I wanted to work for. Besides
helping me land a job, the AAF made it possible for some of my
student work to be recognized on both a local and national level
through the ADDYs. It's allowed me to push myself as a designer and
raise my standards for the year to come. If a song were to describe you,
what song would it be? "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega. To
be completely honest, I've considered this a personal theme song of
mine for several years. Yes, I have a theme song. What do you do when you think no
one is looking? At work, I touch up my makeup by
using my 4"x4" coaster that also doubles as a mirror. No one
suspects a thing. If you became a multi-millionaire
overnight, what would you buy? A new car. I currently drive what
can only be described as a automotive phenomenon. With well over
230,000 miles, it surprises me that it still starts. What are some of the different
jobs that you have had in your life? I've held all sorts of jobs, from
waitressing to working in a print shop. My all-time favorite was
also my first: working at a hotdog stand during Nebraskaland Days.
You can't leave home
without? My keys. I have my car and house
keys on the same chain, and yes, I've locked myself out of both on a
few occasions. There's nothing like that sinking feeling when you
shut your front door, take a couple steps toward your car, and then
realize that something important is missing. Imagine you woke up in the morning
and discovered you'd switched bodies with someone you know. What
would you do? Call in sick, and hope I don't
look like Rob Schneider in "The Hot Chick."

Ad
World News
College of Saint Mary Bloom Ad Campaign Blossoms Across
Nebraska Omaha ad agency Redstone animates real-life stories of success in
its latest campaign for client College of Saint Mary. REDSTONE created a campaign of 18 television and radio spots,
three of which were produced in Spanish, to tell true stories about
the individuals who study, work and teach at College of Saint Mary.
A recruiting brochure is also in development and extended versions
of the stories appear on the university's website at csm.edu.
"We told the story of one professor who interviewed Janis Joplin
back in the sixties. One of the students got a NASA grant for a
project showing how to turn moon rock into energy," said Jim
Svoboda, a partner at Redstone. "You can't make up stuff like that,
but there's no better way to show the diversity of perspectives and
opportunities for discovery that are available at College of Saint
Mary." The television commercials, created in a letterbox format,
feature a story or a group of stories in the form of animated text
and graphics over a bed of uplifting music. College of Saint Mary is a private women's Catholic university in
Omaha that offers students an opportunity to develop their potential
through excellent academics that combine professional and career
preparation with the liberal arts. ............................................................................................................................................. Swanson Russell Tops Recent Agency
