If you are planning to look professional and have actual printed brochures and other marketing materials with these photo`s you may want to strongly consider a pro.
For the web you can get away with low-res photography but not with print! By print, I mean actual offset printing not from your home printer or a color copier.
Some of my clients requested I use photo`s they supplied before. Against my advice of course! Needless to say they used a pro the next time.
It seems your are going to spend the money on packaging and print
materials. I can`t stress enough to use a pro in all the production
aspects of this project. You will see the difference and first
impressions in the market matter. If you are going to sell products
that will be shelved amongst others you may also want to look at the
competition.
Look better than they do!
If the competition all us monochromatic colors or just black &
White, then go with a colorful package and give it "POP" to catch your
market. If they all use colorful busy packaging then keep yours simple!
Distinguish yourself.
Keep your logo simple. Consult a Pro. If you need advice I will gladly
tell you what to look for in a logo designer. There is a lot to
consider and I understand it can be overwhelming. If you prefer you can
contact me directly and we can discuss this in depth.My website is under construction but my contact info is there.
A colleague of mine recently turned me on to a royalty free website istockphoto.com that you can use for your non-product specific pictures.
I also have a discount code - PM me if you are interested.
But to get back to the original topic: for my site, brochures, mailings, and even my custom SparklingCards we used a professional photographer (jacekgancarz.com - disclosure, he is a good friend of ours) and I`ll agree that the quality that you receive from a pro is second to none.
