Food is a necessary resource in every community. Each year, to increase awareness about Detroit’s food system, the Detroit Food Policy Council welcomes attendees to their annual conference where speakers share strategies for building healthier communities.
Detroit Food 2021
The DFPC's 2021 event focused on reconnecting and reimagining communities and food systems after Covid. The direction grew from the concept of how separate pieces can form a unified collective, visualized through illustrations of interlocking pieces of food. This helped to build bright, versatile elements that were consistent with the DFPC’s existing messaging and visual pallet.
Detroit Food 2020
The Detroit Food 2020 summit looked with intention toward what Detroit Food could, should, and will be in "Visions of a Food Future." How will the vision of a food system guided by culture, economics, and wellness continue to take shape? The direction built upon those ideas while adding futuristic and optical design elements, as well as visuals that speak to the event becoming virtual.
Food Power Awards
The Detroit Food Policy Council also hosts their annual Food Power Awards to celebrate those doing powerful work to build a sustainable and just local food system in Detroit, while raising support for the work that remains to be done. The event identity brings a 3D illustration style to the DFPC's iconic beet symbol, and includes elements of high-voltage energy and empowerment.
