YCN Feel Good Descriptions

Using the long list of words that I put together, me and Beth sat down and tried out a couple of techniques to use to try and put together descriptions for the drinks.

The first was to put together 10 sets of 5 words using a random number generator off the internet that could maybe then have one set selected to use. I did this for both apple & blue berry and orange & mango.

Apple & Blueberry

  • bland, odd, abnormal, odor. sense
  • sweet, counterfeit, sensitivity, unwell, unaffected
  • uncanny, harsh, facetious, regular, smell
  • berries, revitalise, biological, smell, pong
  • fruity, loveable, replica, weak, anomalous
  • resonant, peculiar, odd, incongruous, natural
  • rich, kind, imitation, moist, funny
  • piercing, uproarious, stink, aroma, fragrance
  • try, weird, humorous, witty, facetious

Orange & Mango
  • healthy, pointed, abrupt, attractive, agreeable
  • enjoyable, weird, spicy, revitalising, rare
  • strident, zesty, unusual, unfamiliar, respectable
  • fine, faint, polite, respectable, steer
  • nice, wonderful, light, flavourful, single
  • attractive, loud, pointed, distinctive, matchless
  • unfamiliar, hell, severe, fruity, scarce
  • respectable, thin, bright, well, exceptional
  • rich, infrequent, fine, wonderful, tinny
  • well-lit, sharp, bland, boggy, unusual

We tried making descriptions from these, but we weren't really feeling it whilst we were doing it so we decided to leave it and come back - we figured it would be best not to force ourselves to do it and end up with something that we weren't 100% happy with.

When we came back to it, we decided to use a different approach.
