Photograph taken square from directly above. A flat tin with a peel key lies face up and half-settled into a dense bed of dried red chillies, piled deep and filling the frame edge to edge, running past all four edges, dark in the gaps between the pieces and falling to near-black at the corners, the ingredient overlapping the pack's edges. Soft broad light from above catches a wet highlight on every piece. The pack carries a tight photograph of the ingredient printed across the whole pack, the type knocked out of it in white: a small mascot head in a circle as the motif, locked inside a ruled box, the name Rude Thing, and a vertical sidebar repeating the name. Every colour on the pack is flat with a hard edge and the lettering is one flat colour. Its ground is pale and cream on scarlet is its one spot colour. Heavy film grain over the whole frame, coarse enough to read in the flat label areas. Soft on the ingredient, hard at the pack's printed edges. The ingredient's dark mass, the pack's pale ground and the one spot colour. Abundant and slightly grubby — a real harvest rather than a styled one.
