Princes Foods
     
  The production of packaging artwork for Princes Foods comprised of some strict guidelines as it required the placement of official recycled logos, icons and weights and measures plus sizing of Barcodes. This was true of both the Premium Hotdogs in Brine and the Pura Light Touch Sunflower Oil.  
 
  Design

From ideas initial pre-mac scamps thought about and produced on paper.
The more feasible ideas were then designed into a number of formal concepts using an Apple Mac computer and presented on presentation board, or ISDNed to Princes Foods in Liverpool.

Artwork

High resolution image scanning took place with some image manipulation in Photoshop, from the original low resolution manipulation.
Production and tracing of some of the artwork in Freehand and Illustrator, especially the customised typefaces and the icons used.
The elements were then laid out in Quarkxpress on the Mac and prepared in CMYK ready for print as artwork.
The artwork in this case was formalised ready for the printer to go straight to film and plate.

Print and Finishing


The artwork was sent to Princes Food printers in Liverpool. A cromalin colour proof, taken from the printers films, was sent back for final checking.
Any major amendments were made in the artwork and re-sent to the printer, though minor amendments were generally made by the setters and printer in Liverpool.
The finished job was applied to the jars and bottles in Liverpool and samples were sent for portfolio purposes.
