What to study

Desired Outcome

A rusty potjie is often a pot handed down or found in a shed. The before shows exactly that, orange with rust, and the after is black and glossy, ready for the fire. The fresh vegetables hint at the meals it could still cook.

How the packaging works
Title

'Potjie' and 'Braai' are South African words, so they reach people who own these pots, and adding 'Cast Iron' and 'BBQ' helps everyone else find it.

Thumbnail

Orange rust against deep black reads instantly at feed size, and the CADAC lettering on both pots shows it's the same pot when you look closer.

Remix this

When your audience has its own word for the thing you're fixing, use that word in the title alongside the general one. Stage the before with a hint of what it's for, so the restored after feels useful.
