Simply good

Every once in a while I see an ad that makes me think I wish I'd done that.

This is one of those ads.

I came across it on Facebook of all places.

Stuck for an idea?

I'm working on a brief at the moment and the ideas just aren't happening.

I've had a bit of a cold recently so my head isn't as clear as I'd like.

I seem to be suffering a bout of "can't be arsed" as well.

And today in Melbs the mercury is expected to top 38˚.

Maybe Alex Cornell's book will help me break my block.

Only problem is I can't afford to wait for the book to arrive as I need to present my ideas on Friday!

Truck size!

Just spotted this on Pinterest.

No idea who did it.

Nor how old it is.

But seriously what's not to love!

Done before

Essanay was an early film company best remembered for their work with Charlie Chaplin.

This is apparently their standard rejection note for budding scriptwriters.

Don't know about you but I reckon about 90% of films today would have had their scripts knocked back by Essanay.

As a creative director I find the list fascinating as I've often killed off ideas based on issues or concerns in the list.

Especially number 5.
