Typography for furiture store ads

annette_jacobs

I’m working on ads for a furniture store. I’m a little helpless what to do with the typography on the ads. The typefaces I’m using right now are Farnham Italic Swash for the headline and Dolly Regular for the subheadline and with the logo as a tagline. I think it’s really boring looking. Do you have any suggestions for me what to do typographically?

thanks for any response!

Hello.

Has the client seen this yet?

the image/concept is a little lame and there are spelling mistakes.

I would try something completely different, use one typeface and try not to to anything cliche.

Thanks for your response. the client has not seen it yet because it’s actually a school project. but my teacher isn’t a big help. i changed the spelling mistakes (sorry, it’s not my native language).
do you have any ideas for “complete different”? do you think typographically I should go more scripty or sans serif? how can i make that concept work?

Be sure you’re using the right character for punctuation (apostrophe, not single-open-quote).
