Wood is such a pleasing natural material, it goes well here with the concept of “organic” products. Of course a bit of extra staging via natural wicker basketry and live plant helps carry the theme too. But as substrate, shingles are cheap and available in quantity at the local lumber yard. Easily lettered, they could make for a distinctive branding theme across natural products. CLICK the thumbnail for a tight shot. the black drop-shadowing along red lettering is a nice touch, even if uneven and at bit incomplete.
