Aspiring A.D. Monetizes His Search

I recall a number of years ago a prospective student crawled into a wooden crate and had himself delivered to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Art Center didn’t appreciate the stunt, but another, less prestigious art school did. They offered the guy admission.
Now, Adfreak points us to Mike Cessario, an Art Center student with an out of the box idea. He’s selling ad space in his portfolio.

He’s pitching photographers primarily.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.

    This has so been done before a few times. But this guy seems as much a pr-hound as anyone.

    Does anyone remember when a solid portfolio was all you needed to get into advertising?
