There&#8217;s nothing like real-life work experience to help refine your career aspirations &#8211; and we love the new ideas they created for the project! Find out about their time at Mzuti below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charlotte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin with, I would like to thank everyone at Mzuri design who made me feel welcome and for giving me the opportunity to get a feel for the industry. It has been incredible to be exposed to many phases of graphic design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m currently taking my A levels at Godalming College studying graphic design, business studies and photography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of this experience, I was given a creative brief by Phil which entailed several different aspects from logo design, packaging and leaflet design. Through working on a live brief, it allowed me to see what the day to day life of design is like. I was very pleased to find this out as this was a key element that I wanted to get from the work experience. On day one I came up with different sketches of logo designs, then I digitised them and developed my favourite to create a final design for the end presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using the skills I have learnt in college and the help of the lovely team at Mzuri I have gained a lot of real-life experience of the industry and it has helped me to decide on my career in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had the chance to develop my own programme skills with the\nhelp of Tatum and I know what it takes to present to clients in a professional\nway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, by discussing with Tatum, I have a better understanding of the wide range of possibilities in design as there is such a broad spectrum of job opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you Mzuri!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlotte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ottilie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi, I\u2019m\nOttilie and I have just finished my first year at Alton College studying\nGraphic Design (English and Sociology!) and I am working towards finding a\ncareer in the creative industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, I joined Mzuri to work on a creative brief with Charlotte, which has given me valuable experience in working on a brief from start to finish. It has been really interesting learning the process of design and exploring software I had not used before, the guidance from Phil and Tatum was really useful! I have learnt about the different aspects of working in a design studio, including logo design, research, copywriting and package design. It was also valuable to find out that not all focus is placed on \u2018art working\u2019 in the industry; there is a lot more to a company than just the designers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started the week by sketching lots and lots of potential logos for the project. This was useful in developing a strong brand image. Charlotte and I worked together to develop two logos, which we would later pitch through concept boards to the client. We then used these two designs for a leaflet to accompany the product and a sticker for the packaging. I really enjoyed developing the original concepts and seeing them come to life on mock-up images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have really liked working with Mzuri as it such a lovely company and the team is amazing. I have learnt lots about the industry and experienced working on a real-life brief which <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">has<\/g> given me skills that will be useful for future design projects at college and further ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank-you Mzuri!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ottilie <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
