4. TYPOGRAPHY - 9.1.13

I really like the look of Idlewild, which is currently in use. It's clean, strong but as a stand alone font I am concerned that it lacks a bit of the warmth I think is needed. To combat that, I illustrated a stand of trees based on the pattern from the mood board to soften things up.This works to pull in the nature aspect she's looking for. I like Museo for the body text - it's a good match and brings a bit more feminity into the mix. Also up for consideration is an engraved or etched font to capture that vintage aspect the client wants. Chevalier was first up but I went with Jubilee. Broader etching within the letters gives off a wooded look I like but stays feminine. I'm pairing it with Clarendon.

3. COLOR - UPDATED 9.1.13

Dropped the tone of the gold down a couple of shades. It still gold but more of an antiqued shade so feels more earthy. Warmed up the neutral as well.

Client is pretty set with the color palette previewed but maybe needs to be a bit more earthy?
