One of my responsibilities at Crosstown Concourse was to design things for our apartments, Parcels. A major project I took on for Parcels was to design a wrap for their package delivery lockers made by Parcel Pending (no relation).
It was a long and winding road that started out without a lot of direction or guidance but, after a few drafts, we ended up using a lot of old photographs of the mail room workers from when the Concourse was a Sears distribution center. I had to scan, upscale, and edit a ton of old photos and old Sears catalogs dating back to the 1940s to get all the materials I needed but after a few weeks of prep it all worked out great. From there, we moved on to printing. Due to the complexity of the design, we had some difficulty with the printing process. But we worked everything out with the printers and got everything in working shape.
I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It always gives me a swell of pride to walk by them in the building and I’m excited to work on something of that size again soon.
