Sainsbury's press and asset kit

Freedam's take

I like how direct Sainsbury's is with this press library. Instead of burying high-resolution photos behind a login or a lengthy contact form, everything sits right out in the open. You get a simple grid of retail stores, colleagues, and customer scenes, complete with instant download links. Each card tells you the file size right away, which helps when browsing on a slower connection. While you will not find typography rules or logo lockups here, it solves the immediate practical problem for journalists and partners looking for press-ready imagery fast.

Ideas to borrow

1. Displaying file sizes directly on media thumbnail cards helps users anticipate download times and storage requirements before downloading.⁷
