Iconoclastic Plastic (Idea 2)


...::.:...:::::..My second interpretation of 'Icon' was:
 3. One who is the object of great attention and devotion; an idol: "He is ... a pop icon designed and manufactured for the video generation" (Harry F. Waters).

I did some research into Idol's. I looked at Pop Idol, Album Covers, Worshipped figures, Christian paintings and other religions. But one that caught my eye and especially as it is a new political motion is the Obama 'Hope' Poster:


I really like this poster so id decided to base my coffee cup around this idea. All done in photoshop it took a few hundred attempts to get this right but eventually I think I did okay.

The reasoning behind the coffee cup and Obama was that America has this minor obsession with Coffee and with Obama supposedly bringing 'hope' to a new America the same can be said with coffee. First thing in the morning it bring's hope to everyone who is feeling tired..:::..::..
