'Stormdeck' is a visual deck of cards that designers can use to boost their creativity and define the style of their project. Even the most imaginative people will eventually experience a creative rut and Stormdeck is designed to help those people overcome those creative blocks through the use of visual flashcards.
Stormdeck consists of 80 unique visual cards that span five different categories. These categories include style, message, color, texture and font. The idea is that designers can use the cards to visually communicate ideas with their team members and ultimately overcome any creative blocks. If a designer is stuck on an idea, he or she can select which cards they think may best suit their project. These cards can help to provide clarity and inspiration that will help direct the subsequent design process.
