Jar Cooking Sauce

Rude Pantry cooking sauce product

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Curry Classic with a Saucy Secret

A reassuringly premium cooking sauce label combining rich curry-shop familiarity, bold flavours and a completely unnecessary amount of culinary filth.

Vagina Minge Cootchie Snatch takes the conventions of colourful curry sauce packaging and pushes them into a much more inappropriate kitchen cupboard.

Origin Notes

The original design already has strong colours and a recognisable curry identity. It made a good foundation for a Rude Pantry rebuild where the label could become far more inappropriate without losing the feel of a genuine supermarket product.

Cooking sauce label details
The final label needed a balance between believable supermarket design and deliberately inappropriate details.
Detail photographs before retouching
Several versions were explored before the final design details were chosen.
Small design details used in the final label
Tiny details helped sell the fake product photography.
Themed details on the cooking sauce packaging
There should always be some sort of themed twist on what was there before.
Saucy logo and label details
The original sauce branding was rebuilt with a much more questionable identity while keeping the supermarket feel.
Additional themed packaging details
A completely unnecessary level of sauce-based filth.

Notes

This was the first product I took to a supermarket to photograph on the shelf. Taking it out of a bag was fine. Putting it back looked considerably more like shoplifting.
