Because any reason to design something cool to send out to your closest friends and family is exciting (like baby announcements, invitations, hell, even a new haircut) we were thrilled to share the news of our new place of residence in San Francisco—in the Sunset District.
We had a handful of boxes that fell apart during our move and we caught ourselves almost dumping them in the recycling bin when we realized—Oh! We can use this for our moving announcement. So we did. Crate and Barrel boxes, moving boxes, all sorts of boxes. So each piece has its own character.
From the Richmond, we were Sunset Bound. The card pays homage to The Sunset, specifically where we live, just off 9th and Judah, where we can conveniently catch the N-Judah line, thus the blue-circle N. We had a local alterations shop sew the printed piece onto the scrap cardboard—mimicking the MUNI tracks and transit lines. And it gave it that extra tactile feel. We had fun working on this piece.
