Palatino Linotype


The digital type foundries Linotype and Adobe Systems sell authentic versions of Palatino; Palatino Linotype is authorized by Zapf as the definitive Palatino
Palatino is an old style serif typeface designed by Hermann Zapf, and released in 1948 by the Linotype foundry. It remains one of the most widely used, and copied, text typefaces. It is one of the ten most used serif typefaces. Palatino is one of several related typefaces by Hermann Zapf, each showing influence of the Italian Renaissance letter forms
Named after 16 th century Italian master of calligraphy Giambattista Palatino, Palatino is based on the humanist fonts of the Italian Renaissance, which mirror the letters formed by a broad nib pen; this gives a calligraphy grace

Position for orchid in card
This is another Orchid card I made on this weekend. In this card, I started to play with the orchid’s position and it was fun. As you can see in the card, the orchid looks strange and you may not recognize what is this at the first time. You may think what the hell is this?
So, you start to guess. It seems like a flower but you not sure about that you are right or wrong. You only know as you read the company name.
My idea is I want people spend more time to look at the card instead of just take a quick look at it and then forget any thing. This little trick can make people involve in the image in the card and then remember it.
