Brendan Murphy is living the dream of any college student. He worked himself from rock bottom, all the way to the top of the success chain. Murphy, from Dublin, Ireland, did not pay much attention in high school. He says this was a big part of why it took him so long to start college. In Dublin he worked in advertising and print production. He came to PSU in 1985 with a track scholarship and didn’t know exactly what he wanted to do. Given the experience he had, Commercial Graphics was his chosen career path. Murphy said Commercial Graphics was his safety net in case he was injured in track he would not have wasted a year in college. Pittsburg gave him an appreciation for typography. He now works for Lippincott in New York.
“Nowhere leads to somewhere” –Brendan Murphy
Murphy has inspired me to pay attention in school and learn to do the things I love to do: design! I too, did not start college right after high school. I was unsure of what career I wanted to pursue, and I was unsure if I had what it takes to get the grades to be successful at whatever it was I would pursue. Although I’m now a year and a half into college with a chosen degree, I still have my doubts. Murphy’s presentation gave me a new sense of power and success. If he can do it, so can I! If you love something, go after it! With a lot of hard work and dedication I can start a career and hopefully be as successful as Murphy.
