Creative Direction

A real photograph. Bathroom mirror with steam still settling from a hot shower. A yellow sticky note, stuck at eye level. The handwriting is messy but legible — a man's writing, with crossed-out words visible (he rewrote it).

Reflection element: in the mirror, just visible, we see a blurry reflection of a man reaching for his toothbrush. An Easy Man Reserve can sits on the sink counter in the reflection. Only a hint — the scene is about the note, not the product. Camouflaged product placement is the strength.

Layout:
- The photo fills 65–70% of the frame
- Warm cream halftone section at the bottom for caption + sub-caption + CTA + Reserve can render in the lower right
- No harsh crop — composition is photographic, not designed

Typography:
- Handwriting on post-it = real hand-lettering (not a font) or a highly convincing handwriting font (Bradley Hand heavier weight, or Kalam)
- Caption + sub-caption + CTA = brand editorial serif, CTA button


Variation Table

Output A — MIRROR REFLECTION

The canonical execution described above.

Output B — DESK MONITOR

Post-it stuck to the bezel of a monitor with a half-written email visible behind it (blurred). Laptop camera tape in the corner. The "home office" version of the same note.

Output C — CAR DASHBOARD

Post-it stuck to the steering wheel. Through the windshield: a driveway coming up at sunset. The note read as he parks after work.

Output D — NIGHTSTAND

Post-it on a nightstand next to an alarm clock (6:15 AM) and a full glass of water. Reserve can in the background, slightly out of focus.
