My first picture for the scavenger hunt. I don't know if this publicity concept would work but I had fun doing it.

[PS - Tech Talk]
- Cropped and resized all pictures.
- Lots of layers (29) mostly consisting of the images, individual frames and Levels effect with masks.
- Used Guides to align everything (not the ones that sell delicious cookies).
- Used the Dodge tool on some pictures to light up the white areas.
- On some pictures I used the Other/High pass filter on screen mode to sharpen them.

P.S. 2e rangée 3e colonne ... c'est quoi exactement ? Le silex ?

Nice slogan too, Gabriel. I like this coffee story, it's built up like a scenario. Top row, sleepy eye: that's my favourite for now. I've got two of them, and no coffee.

You are so inventive Gabriel! Nice layout, tells a story...of...making pies? JK :)...I can smell the coffe beans roasting now yummm (I don't even like coffee, what a powerful image:)

Allo... c'et très joliment fait, très pro aussi., et le message passe parfaitement. Pour être perfectioniste (ce que je ne suis pas nécessairement) ... ou tatillonneuse plutôt, j'aurais consacré une case ou deux à des grains de café et à leur mouture. Ça ajouterais un pas en arrière dans la démarche. Et j'adore le café, je ne peux m'en passer. Ton image traduit ton gout aussi pour la chose... et le raffinement: ta petite tasse toute fine en porcelaine me fait sourire, tout juste capable d'y insérer un doigt dans l'anse ) - Bonnes photo et excellent montage. Bravo.

Très belle réalisation, idée originale d'un sujet qui me parle... tous les matins!
Pas possible de démarrer la journée sans un bon café. -F.

Another excellent work! Very fine art with this collaze!

Superb job Gabriel, good job.

Super Gabriel, très réussi. Très ingénieux, le café, très bon montage. Les images sont très nettes et les couleurs sont belles.
Amitiés

If I saw this ad, I would certainly buy the coffee. I like the layout of the story board idea. Could be used in Marketing and Sales. Well done, Gabriel.

Wow!!!
Amazing

Gabriel, this is such a good picture. It is well composed, the colour and arrangements all create a wonderful idea. You are such a talented photogrpaher, why can I not see more of your pictures.
Thanks for sharing this,
Liz

this is brilliant Gabriel! so creative and beautifully realized.. it really looks like a professional advertisement from a magazine or something! well.. i don't really like coffee but i love this image! fabulous work :-))

thanks also for bringing to my attention your 'film noir' theme! i hadn't seen it before i created mine... hope you don't mind!! and i'm really sorry i haven't got round to thanking you sooner for your message... i've been so tired lately and am so behind with responding to things... but thanks again :-)

Hello!

Trek Coffee sure will make a good branding. Could also be for those electrical appliances (i think)... you did create a good markerting ad.

suggestion are .. adding french press as details or golden caramel espressos! or those erm... "very hot", steam from the coffee! enticing!!!

anyways.. i like ur creativenesss! great work!

Joli travail de montage :) L'idée de mélanger des vignettes de ton visage et d'autres suivant les étapes de la préparation de ton café est très original, ça me plait beaucoup.
Juste deux petites remarques (d'un point de vue esthétique, et par goût purement personnel) : la tasse aurait été peut-être préférable sans motif, les ombres sont un peu trop marquées sur ton visage.
Encore bravo :)
Martine
