THE COFFEE LOVER’S TOUR OF COSTA RICA CONTINUES
Let’s return to that McDonalds meal I was having when I snapped a quick shot of my coffee cup
lid with my iPhone. I noticed my wife had removed the lid to her cup also and when I looked at it
the lid was perspiring. Honest. It was. Well that’s what my marketing mind sold me. So I paired
the two cups together as you see below, flipped the caps to sit inside the cups and took another
photograph. Back to the home office to download the images. Moved one image into Photoshop
Elements 11 (I’ve mentioned this program before) and then stretched the “mouth” of one. After
that I used the Poster Edges filter to add a poster look. Thought about the speech bubbles and
went with a combination of coffee-chat from Starbucks and Tim Hortons, spiced up the
conversation just a little with provocative words such as peculator and blend (ooooh!) – and
finally bingo-bango – the finished promo layout.
you’re nice
FYI: The Coffee Lover’s Tour idea still waits to be done. Think well-dressed, black tie / gown
couples, touring the ultimate best coffee houses in Europe, and perhaps combined with
theatre, music, dinner, events. Yours to take on and make it work. ?
