Entertaining and relaxing. – Silk 2 – Generative Art Review

This is an extremely well designed app. Even though it is a generative art app it isn't an app where you set things in motion and simply watch it do it's thing. There is a certain amount of discovery that can be had and depending on how much creativity you apply, you can really get involved in the details of your image. A friend of mine who suffers from migraines has discovered an alternative benefit from this app. She starts creating with it and it relaxes her and gets her through the migraine. She said there are other apps that will do this as well but none are as interesting as Silk. Particularly because you can choose one color, two colors, or a color palette. You can also rotate through all the colors in a palette. The only downside I can see is that you can't create color palettes of your own. This would be a great feature to add. There are other things I'd like to see. Brush width control for instance. The ability to import and draw on a picture. Even the ability to save the artwork as a PNG without the background so that it can be placed in another picture. And if the developer were to go that far, how about adding layers? But even without these things though, this is a top notch app to exercise your creativity. You can save as a high resolution image which makes it useful for iPhone and iPad artists that have a workflow that touches on several apps in the course of creating a final image. I can't guarantee that you'll like this app but if you're someone who is a little bit creative then I am reasonably sure that you'll find this app entertaining.
