No they're the finished item.

the items look great, but I'm more impressed by the photographs of them...very impressive.

They do look great, but the photos do look a bit too good to be true - the angle of the reflection underneath is confusing to the point it's hard to tell if you've used clever lighting, or how much PhotoShopping you've done. A white cut-out shot may be received better, as they seem to be more the accepted standard.

They are pretty much as taken, shot on black glass... These are a bit of a pig to photograph with the high gloss surface reflecting everything, so ended up shooting them in a darkened room and bouncing a diffused strobe off a wall, the angles came about more as a result of minimising reflections than anything else. I did think about mocking up using the original artwork as this probably would do the actual images more justice, a photo of a photo is never going to look as good as the actual original, but in the end decided I wanted to try and get as good an image as I could of the actual product. This is a first go at both the coasters and trying to produce decent image representations of them, will try some other ideas over the next few days and with the feedback I get ultimately will crack it in the end.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
