White pack study
Halfday · Text-only pack shot

White pack study

Cost: image_gen · model grok-imagine-image-quality · tokens not returned · 1:1 · text only

A clean pack shot of a slim 12-ounce teal iced-tea can on a pure white background, three-quarter hero angle, dry metal with a sharp rim highlight. Flat illustrated pineapple, watermelon wedge, and yellow fruit on the can, small sparkles, no photographic fruit. Studio product lighting, even and commercial, photorealistic packaging photography. The can is the only object.
Lemon studio (text only)
Halfday · Flavor studio hero without product lock

Lemon studio (text only)

Cost: image_gen · model grok-imagine-image-quality · tokens not returned · 3:4 · text only

A commercial product photograph of a yellow 12-ounce aluminum iced-tea can, dripping with cold condensation, standing on a glossy coral-orange seamless floor that mirrors the can. Behind it, a fluted vertical paper backdrop in the same warm coral-orange. Real wet lemon halves and a lemon wedge sit beside the can as props. The can art is a flat illustrated lemon with a green leaf and a graphic lemon slice, plus small white sparkles — not a photo of fruit on the label. Lighting is hard, high-key studio strobe, candy-saturated, nostalgic American soda advertising. Slightly high three-quarter hero angle, can filling most of the frame. Photorealistic, no extra logos, no badges clutter.
Table still (text only)
Halfday · Flavor-family table

Table still (text only)

Cost: image_gen · model grok-imagine-image-quality · tokens not returned · 16:9 · text only

A wide tabletop still life of four colorful 12-ounce iced-tea cans on a light oak table: one yellow, one coral, one raspberry-red standing, one peach can lying on its side. Colored acrylic coasters in mint, pink, and amber. A mustard-yellow lamp and a green vertically pleated curtain behind. At the right, a hand pours tea into a short glass of ice on a pink coaster; amber sunglasses and keys rest on a yellow tray. Every can is wet with condensation. Hard high-key strobe, candy color grade, nostalgic American soda ad, slightly high three-quarter view. Photorealistic, busy but tidy commercial set.
Tropical pour (text only)
Halfday · Leisure pour 9:16

Tropical pour (text only)

Cost: image_gen · model grok-imagine-image-quality · tokens not returned · 9:16 · text only

A vertical lifestyle pour shot: a cropped hand with neat pale-pink nails tilts a wet teal aluminum iced-tea can, pouring pale gold tea into a clear ribbed tiki-face glass packed with ice, sitting on peeling white-painted wood. A matching teal can sits at the left edge. Background is a candy-saturated tropical sunset — pink, orange, magenta water, a palm silhouette — slightly out of focus. Hard commercial strobe mixed with sunset backlight, condensation on the can, splashes of tea catching the light. Tight 9:16 crop, product in the upper third, glass in the center. Photorealistic nostalgic beverage advertising, not dark or moody.
