Recently a couple of messages have come in from people who are excited to use the Food Font design tool and do events in the future. Some people also have been asking when it will be ready to use.
One person contacted us last week and wrote, “I am so excited about the launch of the design tool! I\’m a community nutritionist and am forever trying to make flyers look interesting, so this will be a fantastic way to do that! Thanks so much for doing this. I think I might pull my camera out and try and make some food letters out of Christmas food!”
Another person who helps markets organize activities and community events wrote,” I have been the manager for the Vashon Island Farmers Market for the past year, and in that capacity was always looking for food education opportunities, especially one that is as engaging as this… I will figure out a way to organize a FOOD FONT day for our summer season (when the variety of foods is at its greatest.)”
The official launch date for the Food Font interactive tool is Winter 2013. An exact date? There is currently not one, since development time can vary. I can report that the design document that outlines all functions and visual componants of the tool is in the work. This tool is then given to the programmer that we are working with – who then does the programming and assembly of the tool.
With my Winter break, I am able to dedicate more time to the project, so I will be posting some in-progress images as they are in the works.
Just imagine, by this time next year everyone will be able to send, print, and post holiday messages out of food!
