iPad – Brainstorming Part 2

Here are a few more apps for your iPad:

• Ideate. ($3.99) Ideate offers a ton of pre-designed templates, so whether you’re designing a t-shirt, writing music, or planning the big defense for your five-year-old’s basketball team, you’ve got a context to work within. You then free-hand sketch your ideas on the template, or on a blank screen, adding color, lines, text, and more.  You can add clips saved from the Internet or sent via email to your iPad. And then you can share the results via email, the Ideate Flickr group, etc.

• WhiteboardHD. ($4.99) Add free-form drawings or pre-made shapes and lines quickly and easily to this virtual whiteboard. Grid or lined backgrounds available, and colors and type styles add flexibility. A good basic brainstorming program.

• Trout. ($1.99) If you’re an advanced visual mapper, you may quickly adore Trout. You can capture your ideas in tons of colors, add icons and images, and record audio notes to your evolving creation. Then you can export as an image or PDF.
