"The red frame is meant to give it a punchy graphic feel + it represents the Bud colours. Justifying the grain, I would say it gives the image a sense of its creation and certainly separates it from 99% of high-speed photography that you find on flickr."
ok sure. red is budweiser's colour. but would anyone drink red beer? and gosh the noise. it's making it look very old and grungy and dirty. i just lost my appetite to eat or drink anything. there is a reason why everyone use high speed studio shot. it looks clean it looks fresh it seems like it would taste good. And generally you would want to avoid B/W photo when doing food and drinks.
you are thinking standing out too much. stop trying to be original and start making a good poster.what is your approach? what is your concept?
i suggest you start over from the beginning. and ditch the photo if it's not working and get a new one.- "i just lost my appetite to eat or drink anything."...sounds like the strong negative reaction I'm trying to provoke.PeterPancake
- disagree about avoiding b+w photos with food and drink, but i guess that's really not what this thread is about.bjladams
- : / well i didn't know he was trying to not sell the product. but yes no b/w or the colour of purple, gray. it makes people think of expired food.pango
- food. and i'd say only 1/ 20 of the product out there would use b/w and they generally don't do so good.pango
- i would say that this is due to poor photography, not lack of colour. i sell quite a bit of b+w restaurant propaganda. -most due use colour though.bjladams
- do use colour though.bjladams
