I saw this on the Creative Review website.
It sounds really interesting.
It's a great idea combining graphics and sound
in a wallpaper creator.
Most of the iPad apps we've seen so far have been along the
lines of digital magazine apps.
Granimator, a new app by ustwo, refreshingly, looks to make
the most of the interactive touch screen and let users be
creative with that functionality - rather than simply swiping
a screen to get to another "page" (yawn).
The idea behind Granimator is that iPad owners using the app
can play around with various graphic and illustrative elements
onscreen to create musical wallpapers. ustwo has teamed up
with a host of in-demand imagemakers – including Airside,
James Joyce, Jon Burgerman and Pete Fowler – to supply
graphic and illustrative assets for the app. Each of these
collaborator's Granimator assets will be available in signature
artist packs, which will be released in packs of six on an
ongoing basis through an in-app shop.
Users can select and drag different graphic elements onscreen to
create interesting looking wallpapers.
Each element in the composition represents a different sound
that can be played by tapping it on the screen. A pinching
action can tweak the sound's pitch, thus enabling
you to fine tune your wallpaper composition – both visually and
melodically. Once you're happy with your creation, you'll be able to
save it as iPad or iPhone wallpaper and share it with your friends via
Flickr, Twitter and, but of course, a dedicated website at
"Granimator is the perfect blend of everything ustwo stands for:
creativity, passion, motion, sound and style," said Mills,
co-founder of ustwo, which has spent £55,000 to date
developing the app, with a further £75,000 set aside for
further development. "This is an iPad
app designed to enable users to create something beautiful,
while being fully engaged with the creative process."
Thanks Lyra, I'll check out that link :-)
