Appetite appeal and serving scene on a hazelnut spread
With spreads, shoppers want to see texture and use. A serving scene on bread shows taste and usage in a single image on the front.
The red lid makes the product easy to spot on the shelf, while warm tones on the jar label carry the hazelnut and cocoa cues.
- Serving scene on the front
- Shelf recognition through the lid colour
- Hazelnut and cocoa ingredient cues
Project overview
The jar presentation balances appetite cues with product identity across a compact, curved label surface.
This portfolio example focuses on food packaging. Use the image to assess the visual direction and the relationship between product format, brand recognition and information hierarchy.
Format-specific design decisions
The contents and label are seen together. Coordinate the lid with the front label and reserve space for approved ingredient and allergen copy.
The layout needs to work both on the physical pack and in a small product image. Review the product name first, then the variant and supporting information. A production review should use the actual dimensions rather than the enlarged screen view alone.
From the visual to final artwork
For a similar project, start with the supplier-approved template, pack dimensions, SKU list and approved product copy. Confirm material, artwork process and finishing options with the producer before final artwork. A portfolio render demonstrates appearance; it does not establish manufacturing tolerances or certify product claims.
3D views for this product format
Plan a front view for recognition, an angled view to understand volume and a closer view for label detail. A range composition can compare variants without changing camera and lighting conditions. Additional views and animations should be named in the scope rather than assumed to be included.

Frequently asked questions
Is the jar lid a separate design surface?
Yes. It supports recognition from above, and its dimensions and artwork process may require artwork separate from the front label.
What is needed to adapt this approach to a new brand?
Supply the logo, product copy, dimensions or supplier dieline, SKU list and target market. The visual direction is developed for the new brand rather than copied from the portfolio.
Can the product be visualized before it is manufactured?
Yes, if usable dimensions, reference images or a 3D model are available. Material appearance and shape can be reviewed digitally; final manufacturing and colour approval still require the appropriate physical checks.
