Safety rules in this class

1. Do not throw anything at any time. Even a sheet of paper or an eraser can cause an injury.

2. Use extreme caution when using X-acto knives, paper cutters, mat cutters, scissors, the tape dispenser, or any sharp instruments. Always cut away from your body, especially your hands.

When using X-acto knives for cutting at a drawing table, a piece of mat board, railroad board, or other similar substance should be placed between the item you are cutting and your wooden desktop.

Never take any tools or equipment outside the classroom. Many of these items may be considered weapons and could result in a zero-tolerance offense.

3. Never possess any item that can produce a flame. Never strike a match, lighter, or any other item that can produce a flame. Some materials such as rubber cement, are flammable and can cause fire.

4. When using spray products such as fixative, spray mount, etc., be sure that you do so in proper ventilation.

Inhaling the fumes of spray fixative, rubber cement, or rubber cement thinner could be toxic and hazardous to one's health and lead to respiratory problems.

5. Follow proper safety precautions when working around electrical equipment, outlets, cords, etc. Never make contact with an electrical device when any of your hands or any other body parts are wet.

6. Do not have any food, liquids, soft drinks, milk, etc., near a computer.

7. Do not run, push, shove, or engage in "horseplay" in the classroom.

8. Be sure that your seat is stable and that all its legs are in contact with the floor. Do not lean back in your seat.

9. Know the location of the fire extinguisher. In case of fire, leave the room calmly, turn right and exit the building. Assemble in the parking lot for attendance check.

10. Report any damaged equipment, broken equipment, accidents or any potential hazard to the classroom teacher immediately.

11. OSHA stand for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

12. Accidents or injuries occurring in the classroom should be reported to the instructor immediately.

Accidents require that an accident report be filed. Even a small scratch may seem minor but could become serious if left untreated.

Advertising agency overview

An advertising agency is  firm that is hired to help businesses sell products and services.

An ad agency:
(1) creates new promotional ideas,
(2) designs print, radio, television, and internet advertisements,
(3) books advertisement space and time,
(4) plans and conducts advertising campaigns,
(5) commissions research and surveys, and
(6) provides other such services that help a client in entering and succeeding in a chosen market.

The agency business structure could be sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation.

Ad agency corporate culture
Graphic designers working in ad agencies generally work in studios where they have access to drafting tables, computers, and the software necessary to create their designs. Although many graphic designers work independently, those who work for specialized graphic design firms often work as part of a design team. Many graphic designers collaborate with colleagues or work with clients on projects.
Most graphic designers work full time, but schedules can vary depending on workloads and deadlines.
In 2014, about 1 in 5 graphic designers were self-employed. Graphic designers who are self-employed may need to adjust their workday to meet with clients in the evenings or on weekends. In addition, they may spend some of their time looking for new projects or competing with other designers for contracts.

An ad agency usually has these typical departments:
Account Service
Account Planning
Creative
Finance & Accounts
Media Buying
Production


The Art Director
An Art Director (AD) is the person responsible for designing ads, websites, outdoor media and brochures for an advertising agency on behalf of its clients. The AD creates and then maintains the visual look for all the work on an account, making sure the client's marketing materials are visually engaging and the selling message is clear.

In a world increasingly driven by computer and mobile phone screens, the visual component of marketing has become even more important, elevating an AD's importance.

An art directors main responsibility is to design and supervise artwork

Strategic growth plan
Small ad agencies must take many factors into consideration when writing their strategic growth plans. Increasing revenue and improving service may be their primary objectives, but agency owners also must determine how to attain these objectives. They must evaluate their service offerings and staff, including account management, creative services and media buying. They may need to rearrange departments. Look at all of these considerations when devising a strategic growth plan for your advertising agency.

Outlining Key Objectives
Start by outlining your key objectives for your advertising agency. Your objectives may include increasing sales or market share, which is the percentage of advertising sales you control out of all sales in your markets. You may want to increase your client base and obtain more business out of existing customers. Whatever the case, write down all your key objectives. Meet with your management team to ensure you have covered all objectives. Assign specific numbers to your objectives, as they must be measurable. For example, indicate that you want to increase sales by 30 percent, which may require a 20 percent increase in new business and a 10 percent increase among existing clients. Create objectives that are realistic and attainable.

Labor
There are no labor organizations, but the American Association of Advertising Agencies is a nation The 4A's provides proprietary access to the people, information, tools and training that advertising agencies need to become more successful.

Safety
Workers in the advertising agency are protected by a federal government agency – Occupational Safety and Health Organization. It is often referred to as OSHA.
