Step #1: Content
FeedNPlay currently accepts submissions in the following categories:
Image – Digital images, such as illustrations, posters, computer-generated images and screenshots.
Each submission in this category can consist of a single image or a series of images.
Video – Different types of videos, such as live action videos, animations, motion graphics, kinetic typography, demos and screencasts.
Each submission in this category should consist of a single video.
Font – Typographic fonts or typefaces.
Each submission in this category can consist of a single font or a collection of related fonts (font family).
Processing sketch – Computer programs created in Processing.
Each type of content supported by FeedNPlay has specific requirements
that must be considered when preparing the content for submission.
Carefully review the requirements presented below.
Submissions that do not conform to these requirements will not be accepted.
Prepare your content
Please prepare your content based on the instructions below.

Processing Sketch
Supported formats for bitmap images:
PNG (without alpha channel or transparency) or JPEG (with the highest possible quality).
PNG is preferred as it uses lossless compression.
Supported formats for vector graphics: PDF
Pixel resolution:
Bitmap images should be in the highest possible resolution
(don't enlarge/upsample images that are already in their actual resolution).
In other words, there is no maximum limit for image resolution.
The minimum recommended resolution is 2000×2000px.
File size:
The size of each image file should not exceed 50MB.
We will consider larger file sizes on a case-by-case basis and when considered appropriate.
Supported format: MP4 (using the H.264 codec)
Pixel resolution: Not less than 1920×1080px (width×height).
This resolution requirement doesn't apply when the actual resolution of the source files is lower,
so don't enlarge/upsample contents.
FeedNPlay supports any video resolution and aspect ratio, so this resolution requirement is only a guideline.
Maximum frame rate: 60FPS
Maximum duration: 10 minutes
Keep the file size below 1GB.
Don't place black bars
on any side of the video image to achieve a particular aspect ratio.
Supported formats: OTF or TTF
The font should contain glyphs at least for the following characters:
A-Z (uppercase letters), a-z (lowercase letters),
0-9 (digits) and basic punctuation marks like
. (period), (comma)! (exclamation mark)? (question mark)- (hyphen)
If you are submitting a font family (a collection of related fonts or variants of a font),
specify the style and/or weight of each font in its filename. Example of a font filename: AmazingFont-Condensed-Light.otf.
Examples of conventional styles: plain, italic, condensed and expanded.
Examples of conventional weights: light, normal and bold.
Double-check if the font works properly by (re)installing it on your computer and formatting some text with it.
In case you don't have a font file yet, but instead only a set of glyphs (e.g. drawn on Adobe Illustrator),
you can import them into the open-source font editor FontForge
and use it to export a font file. You can find several online tutorials on this process (see for example this
YouTube playlist ).
There are also more automated methods. For example, Font Template
uses a script to automatically import glyphs drawn on an Adobe Illustrator template into a FontForge font file.
We are working on the FeedNPlay system to support and display cool projects programmed with Processing .
Our goal is to allow these projects to (optionally) react to external data using sensors installed in the FeedNPlay space.
Fantastic, isn't it? We ask that you hold your Processing-based submissions a little longer until we have the pipeline up and running.
Some general rules that apply to all types of content:
Only submit content that you have created.
Plus, it is required that you have permission to use every material included in your submission.
Don't use special characters or accents in the filenames.
We recommend that you use a slugify toola-z (letters), 0-9 (digits)
and - (hyphens)
Double-check all files to make sure they are all right.
The submission of content will only take place in Step #3
