These are great! I love the coffee mug with the city created in steam
Thanks guys! I hope that you’ll all get to try out some of these awesome effects.
Those were great, especially liked aroma looks like something you’d see in a coffee print ad for starbucks or something with the subline “Taste the City” (patent pending all you ad execs)
Haha I’m liking that tagline
. Some of these might be a little dark for a Starbucks ad, but I think the mug+smoke image would be pretty fitting
