When Designers Bake.
Last month Will and I made some cookies using the computer, a cutting machine and the power of our designerly nerdness. We had some awesome results (though I’m still waiting on pictures) but the best part of doing this were some of the comments.
“Is this ampersand large enough?”
“What are 3 square feet of cookies equal to?”
“Let’s just print this out… that way we can get it dirty.” *chuckle*
*cutting dough* I need a straight edge. Where is my straight edge?”
“Gimme some of that dough powder.” (apparently the new term for flour)
*Will is making a illustrator map of how the cookies will be cut out*
“Look at you being all mathematical about that. You’re silly.”
*pause then realize*
“OH SHIT! I guess you can be mathematical about it! We’re using a machine to cut the cookies!”“I don’t think cookies have ever been so geeky.”
“We need to get a 13 inch rolling pin… to increase our productivity.”
“People wish they had cookies as good as this.”
“Future Note: Robot cookies… only in the winter.”
*note: Robot cookies because we’re using a machine to cut them. Only in winter because it makes freezing the dough faster and easier.
