The idea behind Iced is based entirely off a tweet calling for an emo/punk ice cream truck. Jokingly calling it “Panic at the Dipped Cone” or “Taking Back Sundaes.” I liked the idea, but wanted to make it my own.
For its style I looked for similar trends that follow alternative culture. I was inspired by Ray Gun magazines that features collage-like elements to mixed typography. The skeleton etchings are inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger from his "The Dance of Death" 1538 CE series. However, I drew them so it would look like dancing. Keeps it whimsical instead of depressing.
