Appalling Apps
A Creative Focus Exercise
Appalling Apps
Exercise: Everyone’s trying to come up with the coolest new app, right? But let’s face it – it’s not easy to be the next Uber or Snapchat. What about something that absolutely no one wants on their phone? See if you can come up with the absolute worst apps imaginable. You’ll need a good App name. What does your App do? Who is it for? Any special features? Does it solve a problem (or create one)? How do you get paid?
Why?: To paraphrase the great sculptor Michelangelo, sometimes creating something amazing just means taking away everything that isn’t what you’re trying to make. Knowing what you don’t want can help clear the way for greatness - with some pretty entertaining results along the way!
Enhances Creative Focus which includes combining creativity with logic.Example:
