Description

This is a fashion brochure for New York designer Anni Kuan, celebrating New York laundromats.

We really only had the budget to print a postcard, but a friendly designer told us about a really cheap newspaper printer who could do the entire run for under $500. We then bought wire hangers (2 cents apiece) and corrugated board (12 cents apiece). We got a shrinkwrap machine ($500) and the client hired a student to put it all together.
