This could be a good effort to resolve that for the Frappuccino page.

Posted by: Doug Schumacher on May 22nd, 2013A couple of posts this week grabbed my attention, quite literally. The Starbucks and Dr. Pepper posts. While one simply uses POV and the other a little 'Shop, the main image on each is a pretty basic product shot.
