products without images

I am looking to present all the items for sale in a listing fashion (see attached screenshot). This is due to copyright issues I had with a large company that will remain un-named. I have attached two images to assist in my search; "Image #1" is example of listing and "Image #2" is example of wizard window that appears when an item is ticked.

What is the question? The top image brings to mind built-in options as well as option extensions that are available. The bottom image brings to mind ditto. There does not seem to be anything there to raise a copyright fight, everything is ordinary English without any trade names or proprietary ingredients (except for the ditty top right).

If someone rattled your cage over saying chicken and broccoli and pizza in the same breath, you can remind him that most judges are not that stupid, but the ditty on the right in the top one would be something not to copycat if that is not yours. At least you know that somebody big is either having a really shaky time or worried that you're set to have a really good go at it -- or is either protecting the ditty or just plain stupid.

I'm sorry...The attached images do not present any copyright concerns....They are simply illustrations of how I wish my items to be presented. I need to keep away from any templates that associated an image with a product ...and it seems that all templates have that format.

I've ordered from pizza places before... your first image looks like what I would expect to see. I fail to see where image 2 comes in. You say when a box is ticked... if I ticked "pepporoni" I wouldn't expect to see Buffalo Chicken +4.00 in a list.

If an "associated image" is your own image of your own product and does not give any inkling of trying to suggest that your image and product and you are anyone else's or else, then there's nothing to stop you from using images. Whether on supermarkets' pizza boxes or on internet pizza pages, the first kid on the block did not have pizza pictures wrapped up against all comers, to say the least. Whoever tried to hypersensitize you seems to have done it.

As for the general appearances, yes, if you go at pizzas in OC as-is, the top image is the sort of arrangement you can reach with choices for customers, and the bottom image is what one would expect WITH cart buttons and WITHOUT "+" pricing, if an array of ready-made pizzas were presented to customers. If the question is whether you can get there, the answer is yes. Add products with options and pricing. Straight or with an extension.

Agree with Qphoria, choices in top image make more sense than "+" prices in bottom image. Bottom image should appear instead as separate products with their own cart buttons, not as whole pizza options to add to a net sum takeout for a football team or army platoon. (Came back and saw this still unposted, timing was apparently why.)

The avoidance of images is simple: the two dominant players in online food ordering have set the standard. It's proven and it works. FYI: I had legal issues with Getty Images over images i used on another site....the legal expenses were such that I wish to no longer have images on my online ordering...crazy but its true. So in essence I have been "hypersensitized"

So use drawings or be the only one with pizza crumbs and a fork on an empty plate, quite properly shot. Long ago during one of the traditional challenges to photograph an egg (classically an oblate ellipsoid that is difficult to illuminate as perfectly as somebody self-appointed to say will declare was undone) an accomplished photographer won with the mess left on a white plate by somebody who had eaten runny sunny side up egg; illuminated perfectly. (And keep looking for a pro bono attorney with the right idea.)

The same pair of cart images appears to have puttered off the next day in search of scrolling (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 82#p469076).
