Concepts is an innovative application that aims to revolutionize the ideation stage of the creative process. It provides a safe and dynamic workspace for users to explore their ideas, organize their thoughts, and experiment with designs before sharing them with others. With an infinite canvas, users can sketch out plans, make notes and doodles, and create mindmaps and storyboards. The application is vector-based, allowing for every stroke to be easily edited and scaled. It also offers a variety of tools such as Nudge, Slice, and Select to make changes to sketches without having to redraw them.
Concepts has been used by talented creators at well-known companies such as Disney, Playstation, and Apple to develop and bring extraordinary ideas to life. The application offers realistic pencils, pens, and brushes that respond to pressure, tilt, and velocity, with adjustable live smoothing. It also has an infinite canvas with various paper types and custom grids, as well as a customizable tool wheel or bar. The layering system is also flexible, with automatic sorting and adjustable opacity. Users can choose from HSL, RGB, and COPIC color wheels to create visually appealing designs.
With Concepts, users can draw with precision using shape guides, live snap, and measurement tools for clean and accurate sketches. The canvas, tools, and gestures can also be personalized to suit individual preferences. The application allows for easy iterations with the ability to duplicate work in the gallery or on the canvas. Users can also drag and drop images onto the canvas for reference or tracing. Additionally, Concepts offers various export options, including images, PDFs, and vectors, for printing or sharing with friends and clients.
The application offers both free and paid/premium features. The free version includes endless sketching on the infinite canvas, a selection of paper and grid types, and the full COPIC color spectrum.
