Action Verb Generator

Premise

We can shift the computer away from being a tool for merely executing ideas towards something that helps generate them. I made the Action Verb Generator to conceptualize how this could be done. It spawns live iterations of a concept, in real time, as the concept is developed.

In practice

Inspiration

Inspiration came from Ellen Lupton’s discussion of action verbs in her book Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming.

Open Sourced
