IN PROGRESS: Canadian Bacon Moodboard

Hey guys! I know Tuesday's are typically TUNED IN - but I've got something big planned for next week, so I thought I would share some of my progress with a new client that I'm really excited about! 

A couple of weeks ago, I was offered a contract doing branding for a new restaurant opening in my hometown (Oakville, ON - it's a suburb of Toronto), called Canadian Bacon.  We've been working hard on coming up with a logo, and getting a menu designed.  But I thought I would share the moodboard that we developed.

We were going for a rustic, but refined look.  I think we accomplished that - how about you?  I'm also a little obsessed with the colour palette - it's just the perfect shade of mustard.

FONT LOVE: Eames Century Modern

Hello friends!  I've been busy working away on client projects - and those kind of come first, don't they?

For now, why don't you check out the ever so amazing, House Industries!  I've been ogling their beautiful typefaces for months.  A favourite of mine - Eames Century Modern.  Available as a set of 26 fonts (with 18 serif typefaces, crazy numerals, ornaments and frames), Eames Century Modern has it all.  It's literally the perfect addition to your font book, and has some serious style.  Plus, it looks beautiful paired with another one of House Industries' creations (and one of my favourites), Neutraface!

Also, House Industries will send you a free catalog (I requested to have one sent in the mail, and am waiting for it to arrive) if you fill out a form on their site.  And guess what - you get a free font too!  Click here to order the catalog, and get your free download.
