Fun and good food were part of the lesson during Cassie Hester's typography class and an edible type contest. Hester is an assistant professor of art who specializes in graphic design. She charged her students with creating food to reflect the character of the creator of their designated font. Winners were Adey Efrem, of Greenville, “O” cookies with cups of coffee, first place; Lorianna Livingston of Sparks, Maryland, “V” peanut butter and jelly sandwich lunch sacks, second place; and Andrea Schuurman of Lauderdale, “P” pineapple upside down cake, third place. An ephemeral form, the class consumed the creations soon after the judging of the contest.
