A Quality Food Packaging Illustration Is Important

By Marcia Marks


Food packaging illustration is an important part of designing any food product or brand. Being concise, truthful and inventive is always an important. You can always hire a graphic designer or copywriter to do this for you but in the case that you would prefer to save a little cash or even enjoy doing it yourself, there are certain important tips to take into account in this regard.

A logo is the most important part of any brand. It is the instant signifier of your brand and should always be the first thing the customer sees so as to identify what they are investing in. It therefore carries behind it a lot of meaning and educates customers as to the identity and belief behind what your brand is all about.

First off, always remember to design your packaging with clarity and simplicity. Potential customers need to be able to tell right away what will be in the box before they take it. Failing to register this within the mind of the consumer may result in them disregarding your product as they have no idea what they are buying. Also important in this is the recognition of your brand. Building brand awareness is important to bringing back returning customers. A catchy slogan or impressive logo will go a long way towards helping your brand in this regard.

Secondly, avoid cliche, when designing a brand logo. There are number of recurring themes and ideas towards logo design that have gotten long in the tooth and continue to crop up again and again as lazy designers fall back on old and overdone methods of design. Always keep it fresh and differentiate yourself from the crowd.

Thirdly, an important decision to make is that of your choice of type. A custom type seen in such logos as that of Coca-Cola will delight to the eye and show that your brand is unique and inventive. Standard lettering shows no attempt to be original or take any risks and will not impress anything upon viewers and customers.

Once the designer begins their work they will most likely present you with a number of concept ideas for you to choose which your favorite is. You need to weigh up the pros and cons of each design. Such choices include: does this represent my company and will the colors work within the overall company identity of my brand.

Finally, always consider proportion and symmetry within your logo design. The logo needs to be able to fit on your product and should not seem out of place or oversized. Not too big, nor too small, but just right. Measurements are of course important in this regard and should always be adhered to and fore planned.

Designing logo for your product or food packaging illustration does not need to be a difficult or laborious process. Finding the right designer and prepping them accordingly will help to make this process a far easier one. Never be afraid to ask for help.
