The Brainstormer

Description

The Brainstormer is a bit of kindling for creative minds. A tactile tool to randomly combine a plot, a subject and a setting or style, the Brainstormer can provide that elusive moment of inspiration for writers, painters, or any kind of creative endeavour. It’s a great way to combat creative block, to spark new ideas for a new project or to summon up quick subjects for doodling, sketching or journaling.

The Brainstormer has three spinning wheels featuring plot/conflict, theme/setting and subject/location. By manipulating the wheels -- or do a random spin and let fate take over -- you generate combinations that make fantastic creative prompts for writing, sketching or any creative activity. And you have the freedom to edit the wheels to fit your process: from simply tweaking the built in lists to creating entirely new scenarios from scratch.

FEATURES

- Time-tested and artist-proven, featuring the carefully curated ‘Classic Brainstormer’ lists.

- Full multi-touch support for an authentically tactile and interactive experience.

- Circular ‘Wheel Mode’ and linear ‘Slot Machine’ mode provides two views into the nearly endless combinations.

- Shake your phone or roll the dice for “Random Spin”.

- Fully editable: Tweak the ‘Classic Brainstormer’ or create your own wheels entirely.
