Inspiration. Quick.
Inspired by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s work to prevent creative blocks… try this widget out when you are facing the wall.
Full of sage like quotes and abstract commands, the Oblique Strategies are a series of cards designed to be pulled out when you need to shake things up creatively.
I have tried to keep these cards as accurate as possible (even down to the 10 point sans-serif font!) to the real thing. The further you click away from the card, the more inertia you spin it with, and the angle of spin is entirely dependent on where you are clicking. It features all the original 4 versions – you can select between them using the controls in the lower left corner – the original version is still available from Eno’s shop. The only thing really missing from this virtual version are the 6 blank cards that came with the original. I will leave that for you create.
Try it out and tell me what you think!
