Do you present concepts in the form of adlobs? If so, do you ever find it limiting?

Wait, what's an adlob?

Short for “ad-like object.” It’s a placement–agnostic ad, for presentation purposes.

The limit is a good thing. A pure, flat concept forces the ad to actually work, so it cannot hide behind executional gimmicks. This is why portfolio books used to be judged on how good the print ads were. If the idea had legs, it would still work in print. An adlob is kinda like that.

It’s like a movie poster for the campaign or idea.

Can be helpful but not always. Like anything else, it’s a judgement call as to what will work best.

I just returned to bangalore last week via train. There I met one guy who was shifting to bangalore for the first time due to his job(Infosys). We talked for sometime. There he asked if its okay to keep his luggage for some time if situation arises as such. I thought the guy is new so I agreed to it and gave him his number.
Now after a week he calls me and says he wants to live at my apartment as his 14 day accomodation is getting over. I am a bit uncomfortable for this as he is a stranger.

What are the side effects of a small dosage of Adderall? I am thinking about getting tested, as this bowl has made me realize I may need to be.
