I have designed and made visuals, along with production ready artwork for disposable partyware products, for many UK and International retail outlets, such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Homebase, to name a few. My work involved photography and image editing, Brochure, Flyer, Mailer Pack, Promo Literature, Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP), Packaging, Product, Cutter Guide and Web Design. I gained invaluable experience in advertising, corporate branding and concept design, due to a number of projects I managed from start to finish. On re-joining the Design Department, I mainly dealt with our Far East office, creating presentations and dealing with their product and packaging design/artwork requirements, alongside working with Head Office in Swanley, Kent, on jobs for UK based customers such as Dunelm, Sainsbury's and Waitrose. I have designed photo realistic visuals of products that might not currently be offered by the company, to be used as part of a pitch to prospective customers, these could range in anything from Christmas Crackers and wreaths to Shot Glasses or Cutlery. Alongside the product/packaging development and design undertaken on a daily basis, one of my roles required me to design and layout promotional flyers and brochures for the catering branch of the business, this could involve advertising anything that the company supplies, requiring a rapid turn-around.
