Deep in the AM

Allow me to repeat my previous assertions about my mental state:

Urrrghghh

It's 8 am. I've been up for two hours trying to come up with a bloody ad idea but it's just not happening, nor did it happen the past 3 days I've been trying to come up with one once we'd decided on a media selection. It's not like the product is easy either (tongkat ali health supplement) but the saying goes that there are no boring products, only boring creatives

I even resorted to mind maps. I haven't felt this blocked in a very, very long time.

The deadline is monday and I'm very tempted to knock out a shoddy crap ad that won't stand out and has pretty design to make up for the inherent lack of content; the (forgive me for saying this, but it's 100% true) bloody useless lecturer probably won't even look at them properly. I've seen how she marked previous semester's assignments: Random tick marks followed by stupid comments like 'I like the flow of the fabric in this picture'

Read that again. Her only comment on an end of term assignment advertisement was:
'I like the flow of the fabric in this picture'

Bloody useless. Urrrggghhh my brain
