Logo, not having conceived a logo as of yet thought it was about time. My original thought process was a kind of food time machine based upon an already famous design such as that of the tardis or HG Wells, but after a few preliminary ideas they looked pretty rubbish.
Therefore a different approach was needed, something based around a kitchen utensil perhaps. And then came my triumphant idea, an egg timer.
Yes the humble egg timer, measures time for cooking why not for food. Therefore i changed the dial to read dates and the timer to spin the opposite direction and you get a food time machine.

As I said before the design has changed due to the orbital model I’m basing the application on and my lack of AS3.0 knowledge. It seems to be a complete shift from AS2.0 and I’m struggling with the inner workings.
Here is what is up so far.

At the moment the middle image is stock but will be changed to the logo once developed.

Well, i thought there would be more coverage of the history of food but records are shaky and people seem not to be interested. Unfortunately this has left me with the rather unreliable source of wikipedia. This data can be found here.
This simply shows when certain foodstuffs were introduced into Britain.
Well its been a few weeks and progress is good. Instead of scrolling back through the screen the application will be side scrolling. Unfortunately there is no indication of the dates i the ark of taste and thererfore is impossible to do with this data. A few hours of scouring the web has led to a timeline of when food was introduced to britain. This data will now become the mainstay of my project.
