During my responsive module, I was given the opportunity to design appointment cards for a hairdressing salon. They wanted the cards to be reusable and using the same colour scheme as their newly refurbished salon. I was really pleased with the outcome and organised for 500 to be printed for them at a printers nearby to home.
Not long afterwards, the lady who owns the salon and I dealt with, put me in touch with a packaging designer. I was so pleased to have been given this opportunity as it wouldn't have arisen had I not done the design work for them previously.

I was given the contact number for Paul, and I got in touch with him straight away. Initially, when we tried to organise a meeting, he was busy when I was available to travel home as he was in China, Belgium, Poland, and various other places with business. A couple of weeks later we managed to meet up with his business partner. I met up with them both and talked them through all of the work I have created over first and second year.
Both of them were really pleased with all of the work I produced and I was fortunate enough to be offered a paid placement and then a job at the end of university when I graduate.
I am so pleased about this outcome as packaging design is something which I have come extremely passionate about since the start of the course. I also mentioned packaging conventions in London in September that I would like to go to and he said that they would be able to organise this trip for me. It was also mentioned that I would be able to design a stall for them in Harrogate at the end of Summer. I am hoping that this will happen along with many more opportunities and I am really excited to start!
