Ice Cream Design

This was something which made me smile as soon as i saw it. Making the place which sells ice cream melt like the ice cream itself. creating something like this is really inspiring as I've always been into this type of art. 

I came across this when i was researching the ice cream flavours and this came up on the images and i was instantly drawn to it. I think everything like this is brilliant the way it incorporates an energy saving light bulb which resembles that of a whippy ice cream

Object: Ice Cream

Why is Ice Cream good?
to me ice cream has been something I've loved since i was little. Trying almost all the flavours you could imagine i would go as far as saying I'm an expert on ice cream, to me i enjoy how cold it is and the way the flavours can be mixed and as exotic or mundane as you please. Perhaps the reason i like it so much is that is reminds me of when i was younger and things were easier.

What do i like most about ice cream?
when i was younger i was a right fatty, and this was easily my fav comfort food. i just liked shovelling it down made me feel happy. Knowing this though it probably did add to why i got even fatter haha, so perhaps this sing as good as I'm thinking it is.

Some facts about Ice Cream:

  • Ice Cream is a frozen dessert, usually make from dairy products.
  • Ice Cream is usually mixed with other ingredients like fruit or flavours
  • Ice Cream is a semi-solid
  • Ice Cream has other names such as " frozen custard", "frozen yogurt", "sorbet" each being used to describe a different variation of the ice cream.
I have decided to choose one of each of these listed items and find more information out about them. I choose:
  • Object: ‘Ice Cream’
  • Activity: ‘Modifying Cars’
  • Opinions: “Zombies would take over the world”
  • Concepts: ‘Happiness’

I decided to come to research peoples views on this by the use of Yahoo Questions. This medium was new to me as i have never used the Q&A of yahoo before but This allowed me to access many peoples opinions and views from around the world whilst staying online. Traveling around and trouble over the summer meant speaking to people in person was difficult.

Zombies Question:
Happiness Question:


Taking these into account i can start to build up a good source of details about why others think these are good which will help me along the way. However the research i could gather about the subjects would be were i would learn the most and be able to gather valuable knowledge.

What is good?

To me good has often been the word id use when something isnt brilliant or perfect but just average. Perhaps its to put a cap on the way i see things instead of using a word such as ok or average i would use the word good to make it seem better than it probably is. An example of this would be to say my time management is good, it isnt brilliant nor is it close to perfect but it was never bad. Being asked to research about what is good i had to first breakdown what good meant to me... Luckily it appears my understanding of the word is quite similar to that of the dictionary: ‘To be desired or approved of.’
Looking at the definition i have thought about what i desire and put that into what the brief question was asking; 1 object, 1 activity, 1 opinion and 1 concept.
There are so many objects i would consider ‘good’ so i have chosen 20 i could class as my most desired: Cars, Watches, TV, Sofa, Stars, Money, Gameboy, Mega Drive, iPhone, Movies, Energy Drink, Mac, Pencils, Supplements, Testosterone, Weights, Love, Music, Ice Cream, Pokemon.
As above i will do the same for activities; Online Gaming, Star gazing, Rock Climbing, Snow Boarding, Drinking Games, Driving, Modifying cars , Hacking, Filming, Blogging, Shopping, Chatting, Gym, Swimming, Weight Lifting, Collecting, Designing, Drawing, Time with Friends, Fixing things.
The twenty opinions i consider good are; Water is awful, Winter is better than Summer, Steroids are cheating, Mac is better than Windows, The bible is wrong, Xbox is better than PS3, comic sans is rubbish, girls are better than boys, dinosaurs didn't exist, life is worth living, enjoy everyday like it was your last, cars are better than public transport, the government rip us off, we are not alone in the universe, zombies would take over the world
Finalizing with twenty concepts; Eating, Dreaming, Speaking, Betrayal, Charity, Courage, Cowardice, Love, Fear, Happiness, Wisdom, Friendship, Fame, Sympathy, Insanity, Knowledge, Justice, Right/Wrong, Social Normality,
