Sainsbury's!!

 

Just before going back to Brighton for summer, I found out that our meeting with the Sainsbury's design team had been organised!!

 

Although I didn't get the placement in the end, it was an excellent day. We got a tour around the Sainsbury's headquarters in Coventry, which included the area that the design team work in and their mock-shops.

 

After that, we had 10 minute slots to present to a team of about 5 people from the home-ware design team. It was pretty daunting and I think nerves got the better of me because I really didn't know what to expect, but it was such a good experience.

 

I'd never even considered working as a designer for a big company but it really opened my eyes and I will definitely look into it when I graduate.

 

These are two of the four boards that I presented, along with 4 sketchbooks and some of the samples from the 'Competition Project':
