  Studio chocolate hero shot for an invented chocolatier, a one-colour set in deep magenta. A thick bar of dark chocolate, half unwrapped from a magenta paper sleeve and gold foil, is caught snapping in two in mid-air at the centre of the frame, generous space either side. Shards and curls of chocolate and a fine cloud of cocoa powder are frozen around the break, every crumb sharp. Hard single light from the upper left, glossy highlights on the chocolate's tempered snap face, crinkled gold foil catching sparkles, long crisp shadow across the magenta floor. Background is a seamless magenta sweep. The sleeve shows only the brand name. The only text anywhere in the image is the word "MOLTA" printed once in elegant gold capitals on the sleeve. No other text, numbers, percentages, logos or symbols. High-end confectionery advertising photograph, medium format look, frozen motion, macro texture. Vertical portrait framing: the whole product fits inside the frame with clear space above, below and on both sides; keep the exact product, colours, light and set of the reference image.

  Product shot of a tall kombucha bottle with a full-wrap shrink sleeve, from "THIRD EYE", a fictional San Francisco kombucha brewed in a former music hall. The sleeve is 1960s psychedelic concert poster style: melting, swelling hand-drawn letterforms that fill the whole shape, vibrating complementary colours of hot magenta against acid green with orange outlines, a single all-seeing eye radiating wavy lines at the centre, swirling art-nouveau flourishes. Typography: "THIRD EYE" in melting bubble letters warped around the bottle, "Hibiscus Ginger" in a smaller wavy line, and "Live Culture" in a small round badge. Condensation on the glass. On a purple velvet surface with soft rainbow lens flares from a stage light, a hibiscus flower beside it. Every quoted string is spelled exactly and is the only text on the packaging.

  Product still life of a cobalt glass sake bottle with a washi label, from "NIGHT HERON", a fictional Edo-founded brewery that only bottles on moonlit nights. The label is ukiyo-e woodblock print style: a black-crowned night heron standing in reeds under a full moon, a stylised Hokusai-style wave curling behind, flat indigo, persimmon and pale ochre areas with visible woodgrain texture and keyline outlines, printed on fibrous washi. Typography: "NIGHT HERON" in a brushy Latin serif in a vertical cartouche, "Junmai Ginjo" in small caps, and "720 ml" at the bottom. Tied with a braided red cord at the neck. On a dark slate tray with a small ceramic ochoko cup, moonlit cool blue light and a warm paper lantern glow. Every quoted string is spelled exactly and is the only text on the packaging.

  Overhead still life of a flat rectangular sardine tin in its paper wrapper, from "SALTWATER GOSSIP", a fictional Lisbon conservas shop famous for its chatty fishwives. The wrapper is an azulejo tile pattern: a grid of hand-painted cobalt blue on white ceramic-style tiles with a repeating swirl of sardines, a central framed panel with a single tile scene of a fishwife whispering to a gull, uneven glaze-like blue. Typography: "SALTWATER GOSSIP" in an elegant curvy serif with ball terminals, "Sardines in Olive Oil" in small italic, and "Lisboa No. 3" in a ribboned label. A second tin opened beside it with glistening sardines, on a blue-and-white checked cloth with a lemon and crusty bread, bright Atlantic daylight.

  Product shot of a natural wine bottle with a crown cap, from "HUNGRY GHOST", a fictional low-intervention winery that thinks its vineyard is haunted. The label is a linocut relief print on thick textured cotton paper: a cheerful little ghost picking grapes from a vine, carved with bold gouge marks and uneven ink coverage, in black and one coral red. Typography: "HUNGRY GHOST" in chunky hand-carved letters with wobbly edges, "Pét-Nat Rosé" in small carved caps, and "2025" in a carved circle. The paper is deeply debossed from a hand press. The bottle stands on a rough wooden table in a cellar with an old lino block, a brayer and a few grapes beside it, warm side light from a doorway, cool stone shadows. Every quoted string is spelled exactly and is the only text on the packaging. Fictional brand; no real logos or trademarks.

  Bold product shot of a squat glass cold brew bottle from "RED SHIFT", a fictional coffee brand obsessed with speed. Russian Constructivist design: diagonal compositions, a giant red wedge slicing into a black circle, heavy black bars, a halftone photomontage of a 1920s factory worker with a megaphone, all in red, black and cream. Typography: "RED SHIFT" in heavy angular sans capitals running diagonally up the label, "Cold Brew Concentrate" in a small condensed block, and "Lot 77" in a red square.

  Product photo of three slim hot sauce bottles in a row, each label designed as a different card from a Mexican lotería deck, from "LOTERÍA DE FUEGO", a fictional Oaxaca hot sauce family business. Each label: a tall card with a thick black frame, a flat bold woodcut-style illustration in saturated red, marigold, turquoise and pink: a little devil, a crescent moon, and a nopal cactus. Typography in hand-lettered lotería card style: the card names "EL DIABLITO", "LA LUNA" and "EL NOPAL" across the bottom of each card, and the card numbers in the top corners. Red, yellow and green wax drips over the caps. Set on a weathered turquoise wooden table with dried chiles, a lime and a woven cloth, warm late-afternoon sun and deep shadows.
