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. - Found the perfect combination?
