I’m not certain if this is a question in the realm of your expertise, but I thought I would ask.
I am wondering if it is better as far as value goes to protect a books existing dust jacket by covering it with some kind of clear vinyl adhesive material or something similar.

I am painting plastic water jugs and was wondering if you could recommend a paint that would not scrape off. I have used paint markers in the past but they don’t stay I even tried spraying with a sealant and it scraped off also. Any suggestions? I am pianting names and a soccer ball on the jugs.

Hi Fred, this dresser was passed down to me by family members. It’s a beautiful piece that has stamped on the back White Furniture Co. – Venitia. I’m hoping that you can tell me about when it was made and if it’s worth anything.
Thanks much,
Mark

I need to replace a walk up deck on a three story brick building. How would the ledger boards be attached when there is no visible access to what lies behind the brick? Would a few courses of brick be removed or could it be done from inside the structure with steels plates and through bolts? Thank you.

Hello Peter,
I am an undergraduate student entering into my junior year of college. I am majoring in political science but am considering tacking on either a minor in studio art or minor in graphics design. While I would enjoy studio work and think that it’ll be an enriching experience, I am wondering if I’ll be better off going the graphics route so that I will have something relevant to show off to the advertising firm I plan to apply for an internship at during the next summer. Which would you recommend? Does it really matter?
Furthermore, I am wondering if I should make a creative twist on my resume in order to set myself apart from the rest of the grovelers begging to intern. I am proficient enough in adobe design programs that I can create a little fun and colorful pamphlet or package for myself. Should I get a little ballsy and do that, or will I just make myself seem annoying?

QUESTION: Wow, I hope this isn’t TOO closely related to the last question but I’ve been dying for an answer and I have not been able to find one ANYWHERE. I’m fascinated by a career in the branding field, such as one of the many companies of OmnicomGroup or Voicebox Creative, et cetera. My major interest is the creative design but I don’t want to limit myself with that as my sole major/family would kill me. What is the best educational/career path for someone who wants to get into this business?
ANSWER: Hi, Marissa
The entire field of advertising is a “career in branding,” so again, I need more details about what you want to do on a day to basis.
Write?
Design?
Develop strategic plans?
Talk to clients?
etc., etc.
If you want to be a brand manager – the person on the client-side who oversees the marketing activities for a brand, including its advertising – you probably can go down a general marketing path.
If you want to be an account planner – the person on the agency side who develops the strategy behind the brand – you’ll want an undergrad degree in marketing, sociology or psychology with a graduate degree in account planning.
The VCU Brand Center offers an account planner’s track. Here’s a link that may be of some interest:

QUESTION: Thank you for your answer! Thank you for the tip on account planning and your answer as well, it has greatly helped with my self-evaluation. I am based in California but I will look into that further as well. I’m not intentionally trying to be vague, (I promise! 
the problem being I’m having a hard time even finding out what these jobs are! I have been scouring websites, being fascinated by them for months.
From what I can decipher it seems that I would have to start at one of these firms as a graphic designer and ultimately move up to an art director? I am not sure what the title is. Ultimately, I’d like to be the person behind the table creating the jumping off point or directing the campaign. It seems to be where my gifts are at, figuring out the creative direction for marketing a product.
I am particularly interested in branding firms because of the variety of clients they work with (as opposed to working within the product’s company itself) and the design aspects. I’m just trying to find a major/minor combination that balances the need for design and marketing.
I am sorry, perhaps you answered this with reference to the “agency side” answer above, but I thought I would check anyway. This field seems to be very specific, so I have been apprehensive.
Thank you.
Whew,
