Case Study: Creating Realistic Product Images for Nielsen-Massey

Nielsen-Massey, known for its premium vanilla products, approached us with a request for realistic lifestyle images of their new Mexican Vanilla Paste. The goal was to generate images that showcased the product in a natural, appetizing way, specifically focusing on a drizzle effect of the paste on food.

Project Goals:

• Create realistic lifestyle images of Mexican Vanilla Paste, focusing on the product’s drizzle effect.
• Capture the product's versatility by incorporating it into a visually appealing setting.
• Ensure that the image felt authentic, reflecting the high-quality nature of Nielsen-Massey’s product.

Our Approach:

• Understanding the Brief: Nielsen - Massey provided a clear idea of what they envisioned—a lifestyle image featuring the Mexican Vanilla Paste in a "plated" style, drizzled onto a food item like yogurt. We reviewed their example image and gathered feedback to fine-tune the concept, following best practices similar to those described in our product photography guide.

• Design and Creation with Brand DNA:One of the powerful tools we leveraged to bring this product to life was MorningAI’s Visual Styles, which you can personalize according to your brand’s visual preferences. By adding reference images to your Brand DNA within MorningAI, you can ensure that every image generated accurately reflects your brand’s identity. This feature allowed us to ensure the image of the yogurt bowl with the vanilla paste drizzle was perfectly aligned with Nielsen-Massey’s premium branding—an approach also used in our VENUS fashion case study to achieve true-to-life visual results.

‍

• Client Collaboration: Throughout the process, we maintained close communication with Nielsen-Massey to refine the image. After receiving feedback from the client, we adjusted the image to meet their expectations for realism. This included modifying the lighting and texture to make the vanilla paste appear more lifelike, similar to techniques explored in our AI design visuals workflow.

Outcomes:

• Successful Product Image: The final image of the yogurt bowl with the vanilla paste drizzle was met with enthusiastic approval from Nielsen-Massey. The client was pleased with how the image represented the product’s quality and authenticity.

• Scalability with Brand DNA: Nielsen-Massey inquired about replicating the image concept with other foods, showcasing the scalability of our Visual Styles tool. With Brand DNA, they can generate specific product images accurately every time, ensuring consistency in their marketing materials—something easily managed through the MorningAI content studio.

By closely collaborating with Nielsen-Massey and incorporating their feedback, we created an image that not only met their aesthetic requirements but also highlighted the premium quality of the Mexican Vanilla Paste. This project exemplified the power of MorningAI’s Visual Styles and Brand DNA, which can be tailored to produce accurate, on-brand images with every use. It’s a tool that allows for both creativity and consistency, ensuring that your brand’s visual identity is maintained across all product imagery.
