Foodstories

1. Best Practices Handbook: LOBA shaped the Best Practices Handbook as an inspirational, yet practical, compilation of storytelling examples in food science communication. This included defining the structure of the handbook, organising and editing contributions and case studies from partners, and transforming them into clear, reader-friendly sections. LOBA handled the full graphic design and layout, ensuring accessibility (clear hierarchy, call-outs, and visual examples) and alignment with the project’s visual identity. The handbook was prepared in digital format for online access and download. Explore the handbook here.
    
2. FoodStories Toolbox: For the Toolbox, LOBA designed two documents which turn storytelling concepts into a structured “hands-on gym” of exercises and templates. This involved designing and creating editable templates and worksheets, and ensuring that the toolbox is appealing for learning. LOBA also developed the Facilitator’s Guide, translating the Toolbox into a practical resource for teachers and trainers by suggesting timings, activities and tips for running workshops. All materials were visually designed by LOBA to be intuitive, digital and printable and consistent with the FoodStories brand. Discover the Tollbox here.
    
3. FoodStories Masterclass Videos: LOBA led the development of the five-part FoodStories video masterclass series. This included defining and preparing storyboards to translate theoretical guidance into clear, visual explanations. LOBA coordinated the video production process ( editing, motion graphics, voice over, subtitles and formatting for web and social media), and ensured that each episode followed a consistent, accessible style. LOBA also prepared the copy and visuals used to promote the Masterclass through the project channels. Watch the masterclasses here.

Through these three actionable knowledge outputs, LOBA ensured that FoodStories delivers not only awareness-raising content, but practical, reusable resources that support researchers, students and educators in applying storytelling techniques in their daily science communication work.
