WHAT IS...?
PACKSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY
Packshot Photography shows clearly your product and is taken against a pure white background. A white background is generally preferred as it brings focus to the product, avoiding any distractions. It usually consists of a single image or series of images, which are taken from a variety of angles to show off the product’s features and details. Usually, the images are supplied with drop shadows and or reflections. The primary purpose of Packshot Photography is to ensure that the product's colours, form and labelling are clear and as accurate as possible, to reflect the product exactly the way it looks in real life. Packshot Photography leaves little room for artistic or creative expression but provides a perfect combination of aesthetics and information.
CREATIVE PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Creative Product Photography shows your product in its best light. It’s all about highlighting the features, benefits and details of the item being photographed. Typically requires more sophisticated equipment and techniques than Packshot Photography. The aim is to elevate your product through different angles, lighting techniques, props, composition and backgrounds to get the best results and show it most appealingly.
LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Lifestyle Product Photography shows your product in ‘action’, helps your potential customers understand what the product looks like in a suitable context, trying to capture the essence of your brand in a proper ambient, sometimes featuring models.
BRANDING
Is the strategy to build a Brand. It’s the process designed to help potential customers quickly identify and (hopefully) choose your product over the competitors. In 3 words: name, qualities and personality of the brand.
BRAND IDENTITY
Brand identity is part of Branding and includes all the visual elements associated with your brand, from your logo and typography to colours, product packaging design, website design, and even your social media graphics. In 3 words: name, tone of voice and visual identity design (which includes the logo design).
LOGO
A Logo is a graphic element that can be considered the foundation of your brand identity. It’s a combination of typographies, graphics/symbols, and colours that try to attract the attention of potential customers. A good logo is an easily recognisable graphic symbol that grabs attention, makes a strong first impression, is memorable and separates you from your competitors.
