Finding The Right Food Packaging Illustration

By Jaclyn Hurley


While it is true that we all need food to survive the process of eating it is not just about mere sustenance. Often the pleasure and anticipation of eating is part of it and this begins before someone opens the packet before preparing the meal that they are about to eat. If you are looking to market a new product then it helps to have the right food packaging illustration in order to attract potential customers.

The illustration on the packaging is about more than just making the product look good. While this is important in and of itself it also provides people with an indication of who the product is aimed at and how it should be served. An illustration may show it as something that kids will love to eat or something ideal to serve for people who want to serve something special for a dinner party.

The good thing about looking someone up online is you can see at a glance examples of their work. You should then decide whether or not their style is appropriate for your particular type of product. This will then allow you to narrow it down to around three potential choices.

A brief should provide details of your product, your target demographic and an idea of the kind of illustration you want. Ideally you should also provide some kind of rough mock up and some reference material. Additional information such as this can often make it easier for an illustrator to know what you want.

It is best to look online to see who is available in your local area and possibly beyond. If possible you should meet illustrators in person. This will allow you to look through their portfolio and get more information on their qualifications and experience. Ideally they should also provide you with a quote for their work.

This will then make it easier to compare the different options available to you. It is generally recommended to compare at least three different illustrators. This ensures you get the best possible quality available in your price range. Remember you should not look solely in terms of price. It is often to pay a bit more in order to get better quality and more experience!

It is also worth considering whether you trust the person you work with. They should be willing to listen to you. This does not necessarily mean that they cannot give feedback but they should do so in a way that is helpful and not overly blunt. If you are in any doubt or do not feel comfortable then you should look elsewhere.

You can find various freelance individual illustrators and food based graphic design agencies by looking online. It also helps to look for testimonials and feedback from previous clients who have used their services. This will allow you to find the ideal illustrator to suit your needs.
