Examples of professional practice from this blog: Which sector were they produced for?
I would say that all of the above examples have been produced for the Secondary Sector (finished goods). I seem to have quite an interest in producing work for this sector because I happen to like buying things with beautiful packaging. The designer (service provider) would have been asked to design a product/packaging that would be attractive to buyers, so I would say that their role as a service provider has been a successful one.
This is the only example I wasn't sure about. I think this would belong in the Tertiary Sector because it has been designed for another service provider - in this case, a restaurant to make the environment more attractive to diners.
