On a shopping day with my sister last week, we made a quick stop at a 7-11 for a cup of coffee. They were doing a poll in honor of the upcoming election. You cast your vote based on which cup you choose. I thought it was just a funny way of slipping politics into our lives one more time. This isn't about which coffee cup I chose, but simply about the use of politics everywhere.
Here is the original photo I snapped with my iPod.
On our last stop of the day, I came across a beautiful display of Andy Warhol inspired cans of Campbell's soup at Target...
...and thought hmmmm... that's a cool inspiration piece.
And I've always loved this piece...
So, I did a bit of playing in photoshop with my coffee cup picture & came up with this...
I did keep the colors within the red, white & blue range as I wanted it to fit into the theme of my page. But this is something that could easily be done with any photo.

clever~love it!!!
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't share the politics, I absolutely love your layout. The play of the stars on the page, the way you created the title and the contrast of the cup sleeve against the photos - wonderful!!! the handwriting also makes a great contrast against the straight lines in the layout. I think I might lift this for a layout about my love of Starbuck's.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this Megan! Brilliant use of the inspiration and I love the flow of your design.
ReplyDeleteI do share your politics,and also love the layout! It's fun to try and use the flotsam and jetsam of our daily lives in our art.:)
