DSDN 112 - Experiment results #2

I have created two drinks out of sparkling duet! I have added green food coloring to one glass and black food coloring to the other. So the result there was that one drink was a disgusting black which looked like paint water and the other one looked more appealing with a slight green to it. I gave both of those drinks to my friend and then his reaction to both those drinks were, "YUM!" Then he commented that the green one tasted a lot better than the black one. Then I broke the news and said that they were the same drink just with different food coloring in it.

Also my new inspiration is a program called "Heston's Feast". This program is about this guy who creates food that is unique and very different from normal food. Like for example he created a skeleton that was made out of food and also made a drink that had ham, turkey and all sorts in it and it actually tasted good. This has inspired me more to create a drink that looks absolutely disgusting but when you taste it, the drink will be amazing.

To pull off this look I'm going to present my drink in that massive cup I bought (seen in earlier posts) then around the rim of the cup, I'm going to put red icing on it but make the icing really thick so it holds onto the cup better and doesn't drip down. I also want to have shot glasses around the main cup with the drink in it. This would be good because then who ever dares to try my drink can just grab a glass and give it a go and hopefully the reaction I get will be a surprised reaction along with a good tasting reaction. I'm trying to push for that YUM factor and also make the appearance very disgusting so it puts people off.

Dare to try? 

DSDN 112 - Ideas for presentation

I've bought a massive cup for my center piece of my presentation and also some glass to surround it. With the big cup I'm thinking of putting thick red icing that drips from the top and then sprinkle white icing sugar on top of the icing or maybe not. My goal is to make the appearance of the drink to look disgusting along with the presentation as well but then when you actually try the drink you are amazed at how good it is!

DSDN 112 - Tastebuds?

This week we had to bring items or just the one item that would give a unique reaction when you tried it or played with it etc. I bought a mystery drink that I distributed to the class. It looked like water but when you taste it it would taste completely different. I bought cranberry sparkling water which surprised a lot of people because a lot of people haven't tried that before which meant a lot of people really liked it or disliked it. Most people's reactions were to smell or use other sense to make out what the liquid was. And some people thought it was a good idea bring sparkling water but maybe I could have use food coloring or more flavor boosting, and by using those I could create a really disgusting looking color in the drink so people will be disgusted by it and it would be interesting if someone actually would try it or wait until they can figure out what it would be before taking a sip.

So my next step is to experiment with food coloring and flavor boosting to create a really disgusting color but then it tastes amazing when you try it.

Here is more development of me trying to intertwin feather, movement and fading. (which are my three words).

 Here are some more concepts/iterations. These forms I've tryed to incoporate that soft feathery feel and the feeling of a twisting movement.
