As part of FolioFLY’s new ‘Class to Community Connect Program’, we’re excited to introduce one of those rare portfolio-building opportunities for up-and-coming art, advertising and other college and graduate level artists local to South Jersey and Philly!

PROJECT DETAILS
Use your top-notch visual communications skills to create a window art advertisement for The Makeup Bar Salon in Cherry Hill, NJ.  Your design should convey how ”The Makeup Bar is more than just makeup!”

Simply submit your design concept via email attachment and send to designs@foliofly.com using the email subject header:  My Makeup Bar Design.

This opportunity is open to ONLY college level students.  The Makeup Bar Owner and Staff will select the top 3 designs.  The South Jersey Magazine Art Department will also have input into the final winner from the TOP 3 submissions. 

AND THAT’S NOT ALL!
In addition to having this incredible portfolio-building experience, the winner will:

- Receive a $100 Gift Card for Makeup Bar services 

- PLUS enjoy a GRAND PRIZE of spending the day with the great folks at the South Jersey Magazine Art Department!  (The date of the visit will be determined based on availability and convenience for both the winner and South Jersey Magazine. )

- Once your design is selected, you’ll paint your artwork on the HUGE salon windows for all to see.  (The Makeup Bar is located at the high traffic Short Hills Plaza in Cherry Hill right on East Evesham Rd.)

All paint supplies will be provided by The Makeup Bar.  Only 1 submission per person will be considered.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to build your portfolio and meet with local business professionals. You never know what doors may open!

Deadline to submit entries is June 30, 2010.  All out-of-state students who enter will be responsible for their own travel related expenses if their artwork is selected for the salon.  Please post your questions in the comment section at the bottom of this page.  Directly contacting South Jersey Magazine or The Makeup Bar directly may result in disqualification from the activity. 

Best of luck and we look forward to ALL your submissions!

Email sperilli AT foliofly DOT com ASAP expressing your interest to participate in this rare project before the opportunity is gone!  Note your verbal SAT score and your literary classes, or your interest in and connection to literarature.  Remember – this is a very short term project, not a job,  designed to give you some related career/industry experience.  No previous experience required so let us know if you’d like to give it a try!

The book expertly catalogues the most interesting and relevant industry information including decades of cool hotel innovations, industry leaders and pioneers, landmark hotels and even juicy details on Presidential assassination attempts, cagey underground dealings of legendary mob bosses and major world events that took place in famous hotels across the country from 1910 through 2010.  

Selected FolioFLY student writers were assigned the different topics, people and events to research and write about, while gaining first hand experience working with Marla Cimini (www.marlacimini.com).  Marla is a master Project Manager, published writer, expert media trainer and esteemed business professional with years of experience in the hospitality industry, among many others.  ”A Century of Hospitality” was published right on schedule this fall 2009 , and offically launched to the industry November 2009.  In addition to writing for the book and becoming an officially published writer,  each student has their picture coupled with their bio in the book’s well laid-out credits.  And if that wasn’t enough, this terrific industry piece is being presented to the members of Congress, and will take a seat among the books in the Library of Congress.  Not a bad gig for a first time writer, huh?

The hardcover books are now on sale for $35.00 through Amazon.com at http://bit.ly/66lexM  Only 3 left as of today, but more are on the way so order soon!  Thank you again to the book’s incredible Project Manager/Co-Editor who gave FolioFLY students this unbelievable opportunity to learn and help them pursue thier dream of being professional writers.

Please contact  sperilli AT foliofly DOT com if you or the business/organization you work with is looking for talented student writers.  We have a number of talented and published student writers who come highly recommended from their project work with us, and they’re just waiting for the next great opportunity.
