ESSENTIAL FOODS salmon oil and dog food

Gallery, A+ and Brand Story concept for amazon.de, October 2026 · not live on Amazon yet

All cases

The brand’s own photos, a new gallery: what I designed for ESSENTIAL FOODS

Salmon oil and fish dry food for dogs on amazon.de: gallery, A+ and Brand Story redesigned from the brand’s own photos, engravings, fonts and colours.

Live salmon oil slot 4: a six-point tick list in thin type on cream.
My slot 4 mock-up: oil poured from the bottle, then ‘5 ml pro 10 kg · täglich’ and a dose table for 10, 20 and 30 kg.
Salmon oil, slot 4: the live slide on 8 October 2026 and my mock-up.

The product

  • ESSENTIAL the OMEGA 3 OIL: pure salmon oil for dogs, 0.5 l dark glass or 1 l PET refill.
  • NAUTICAL LIVING: grain-free dry food with salmon, trout and seasonal fish; 2.5 kg (small kibble) or 10 kg (large).

“Before” is the live gallery of the 0.5 l oil (27 October 2026) and of the 2.5 kg food (8 October 2026), so each pack is compared with itself. A+ and Brand Story: live on 8 October 2026.

The problem: what I saw on the live pages

Strong material (dog photos, gold engravings, a clear brand book), spread thin:

  • Thin type. Headlines and many text lines are a thin serif on cream, faint at phone size.
  • Lists instead of one message. Oil slot 4 and food slot 3 are six-point tick lists; “Für die tägliche Fütterung geeignet” appears on oil slots 2 and 4.
  • Long tables. A 9-row dose table (oil), a 10-row feeding table (food).
  • Slots for the rest of the range. Oil slot 8 advertises the dry food; food slot 9 compares eight recipes.
  • A+ repeating the gallery. The oil’s A+ shows the checklist, dose table, values and cross-sell again.

How it was made

  • HTML/CSS layouts in the brand’s fonts, colours and engravings; gallery slides rendered at 2,000 × 2,000 px, all type at least 84 px so it reads on a phone. Most photos come from the brand’s image folder or website; where the brand had no photo (the owner with the dog, the kibble bowl and salmon on the main images, the wider pour scene) the scene is AI-generated around the real product, with the label text and size checked.
  • Numbers are from the brand’s website and product data, the same as in the listing texts I wrote.

Where it stands

Designed as mock-ups in October 2026 and not uploaded to Amazon yet, so there are no sales numbers to show.
