Default Help !!!

Need some help and ideas from you guys.

I have been asked to produce some more shots to go with this one "Hot Coffee"
On the same theme. i.e. a bit of a visual pun on coffee.
The shot must include the same cup and saucer and background so they go together in a set.

Looking for half a dozen different things and my creative juices have totally dried up. I can think of 2/3 I can work on (iced coffee, Irish coffee, coffee cake) but I am having trouble coming up with anything else.


I know there are a load of creative people out there so any ideas gratefully received.

tks

If you use some sort of online reference, you can usually see a list of associated 'terms' or 'words'.. a favourite of mine is the dubious Urban Dictionary..

Urban Dictionary:Coffee

see the list on the left side, which seems pretty exhaustive. Of course there are less... raucous ...sites, just an easy example.

I"m sure once you have a 'phrase' you like the ring of, you can easily conceptualise it.

hahaha - I just had a look at that and saw "coffee enema". Oh boy, could I come up with some ideas for that one

Thanks for the link though - will go through some and see what I can come up with.

I had already thought of that one - best left for a more personal shot rather than a coffee shop me thinks. (unless thats a "coffee shop" in Amsterdam)
