Take-out packaging is a staple for restaurants like Bush Garden in the International District/Chinatown. They often sport very little typography or imagery on it, acting as a seemingly blank canvas which we had recognized as an opportunity to develop meaningful messaging. In collaboration with Karen Akada-Sakata, owner of Bush Garden, our team created Outside the Box — a package design aimed to educate consumers about the rich history of these small businesses, the community, and the hard-working people behind them.
