Sample answer
“In my internship at a local brewery, I was tasked with redesigning their beer packaging. The challenge was to create a unique look that stood out on shelves while ensuring it communicated the brand's organic message. I started with sketches, focusing on earthy colors and textures. After several iterations and material tests, we settled on a biodegradable material that highlighted the eco-friendly aspect. The final design increased shelf visibility by 30% and received positive customer feedback.”
