I've done countless photorealistic package images, but the majority (Smucker's, Pillsbury, Hungry Jack, Crisco, etc.) are not available to publish on this site, but be sure to contact me for more information.

This selection offers a good idea of how to make a package look "better than real."

Along with designing box graphics and logo update, I created this box illustration by distorting flat panel images and adding highlights, shadows, etc in photoshop.	another box illustration (sugar packs on box are also illustrated - see below)
only the ice is real, the rest is realistically illustrated lids and distorted flat printing graphics with highlights and shadows. (the actual packaging graphics were designed by the staff of mcelveney & palozzi design group)	a scan of the actual product above and my cleaner-looking illustration below. (also did logo)
an actual photo of ice cream...	...and that same ice cream after a heavy retouching and illustration session. (the environment, spoon, shadows and such are all illustrations) (there is no spoon.)

Along with helping design the actual packaging while at McElveney & Palozzi Design, I was asked to
create this mockup image of a final product.
I took the flat artwork and "wrapped" it by distorting it in photoshop
and then adding highlights and shadows, creases and illustrating metal clips, etc.
This is not at all an image of a real package, but a "better than real" illustration.
