Getting started for designers

How to get going with designing for your project using Luna.

Luna's design foundations

Luna is a multi-brand design system. We want each brand to remain unique, but also to share things where consistent standards and approaches will create better experiences for users. This idea applies to everything that we do.

Colour

Brands have individual colours, but share a monochrome and semantic palette.

Typography

The typography system provides a flexible approach that can be applied to individual brand fonts.

Layout

Read about spacing, grids, gutters and margins and how they vary across breakpoints.

Design tokens

Learn how to use design tokens to build and maintain consistent user interfaces.

Accessing and using our UI design kits

We have UI design kits for use in Figma for Sainsbury’s, Argos, Nectar, Habitat and Tu.

If you’re a Sainsbury’s colleague

UI design libraries for each brand will be switched on within Figma. You can also duplicate our UI design kit from our community page.

If you’re a third party or agency

If you’re designing from outside Sainsbury’s organisation, you’ll need to duplicate the UI design kit from our community page.

Our UI design libaries contain:

Colour Styles

Global monochrome and semantic palettes as well as brand colours.

Text Styles

Brand and global typefaces at different display sizes.

Grid Styles

Grids for mobile, tablet and desktop, with Android and iOS variants available.
