I'll start off with..

Creative was a bitch. Thank god i don't have to return to that crap again.

We had to incorporate unexpected impact of discoveries as our central element or some shit and we were given photos. This was hard for my creative. Ah well.

Picked the one with the window of the submarine sort of thing and talked about a washing machine instead.

Picked the one with the brick wall uncovering the grass, story was about a north korean defector getting into china and seeing what he has been missing out on, think it fitted well.

I don't really get the pictures tbh. Like, dude with surprised face... that could literally be any story with a male main character.

tbh, you'd be an idiot to not include the stimulus at all, that's what the whole purpose of adapting a creative is

so if you just wrote your planned creative with no reference to the given stimulus, you won't get above 13/15

You might get flagged for that and questioned by the police...

I would have so preferred if they just gave us quotes to use in the 1st paragraph. It was hard to adapt to the stimulus.

tbh my opinion is that any creative should fit as theres no right or wrong interpretation of an idea.. thats why they call it an interpretation! it varies dependin on the person so i find it a lil unfair!
