I've always enjoyed the Absolut campaigns and had some free time so I thought I'd make a twist on the "Absolut Attraction" piece just for fun. This is not an actual ad of course. Here's my first crack at it. Comments welcome :)

I don't have the right font for the tag at the bottom but it's not a real ad so It'll have to do.

Very nice... ;)

As for the font: there seem to be many claims for it to be "Futura Extra Bold Condensed",
which you can download from here
(but maybe you're using that already, my font-spotting skills are very poor...)

Thanks! I was looking for that. I used a Futura but it wasn't quite the right one and I manually condensed it which really isn't the right effect.

I still have to put the seal on the bottle above the name and work on the Martini a bit.

Finally got around to adding the seal and tweaking the materials a bit. It's not perfect but it was just for fun so I probably won't spend much more time on it.

Now, I had a real one around here somewhere, it is Saturday after all... :D

Well, to add to the drama, you could highlight the implied movement of the glass
by presenting its contents in a little bit of a turmoil...
;)

Good idea! Never thought of that. I'll give it a go :)

Cool concept! I know it's still wip but the liquid in the glass looks like red paint, it doesn't look drinkable. a few refraction/caustics should help.

Finally had a chance to play with this a bit more. Tried to add some disturbance to the liquid and make it look more drinkable. Let me know what you think :)
