I am a Theatre film studies student in NUS. I just saw NUSs Law
school advertisement posted on 18th April in the straits times.
There was a disclaimer that declared this was a student made
advertisement where no ad agency was involved. However, their ads
appear to be eerily similar to SMU print adverts where the motifs
are students featured with text captions stating their name,
degree, CCA achievements and jobs secured prior to joining
SMU.
In fact, correct me if I am wrong, SMU first started the trend of
featuring students, be it their memorable we are different jump,
or students posing in Zen styles, or their outstanding students
featured against a white , minimalist background that comes with a
text caption describing the persons achievement. Thus, I would say
NUSs Law school adverts shouldnt have imitated SMU print ads. I
like NUSs print ad which comes with a impressive tagline, People
tell you to know your limits, we tell you the skys the limit,
thats the difference between em NUS. NUS law school please
adjust your print ads.
