PW: DoveTisch This spec commercial was made while I was based in Singapore, attending NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Asia. In our commercial class, we were told to make a commercial from scratch or a spec commercial. I was drawn to the ideas behind the original Dove Real Beauty Sketches campaign ad, but wanted to focus on issues that were specific to Asian women.
