Tropical Inbox Zero

Zero unread. Forever.

A teal roadside mailbox, flag up, beside a breezeblock wall, palm trunk, and a pot of coral hibiscus. Vintage letterpress poster.

The Story

In Mango Groves, Parrot Cove, and Eden Place, mail is still delivered to roadside boxes - painted metal, flag up or down, set in front of breezeblock walls and hibiscus. The boxes mark the cottage lots the way house numbers do elsewhere. A raised flag is the district's smallest public announcement.

The Making

Finished in Photoshop with mid-century travel-poster color - saturation raised in the teal and coral ranges, edges softened selectively.
Breezeblock pattern and mailbox rebuilt as vector shapes in Illustrator so the pattern repeat stays exact.
Print-prepped at 2400 × 3000 px, 300 dpi, sRGB.
