Branding Rustic Retreat Magazine – Simple Living, Timeless Charm
Madison East
For Rustic Retreat Magazine, a publication celebrating simple living and timeless charm, I crafted a warm and inviting brand identity. From the elegant main logo and logo mark to carefully selected font pairings and an earthy color palette, every element was designed to capture the magazine’s rustic aesthetic. The final touch included realistic magazine mockups, bringing the brand vision to life.
