Akina, a calming generative art experience for iPad.
"Some people like to make of life a garden, and to walk only within its paths. Others travel among the wildflowers."
- Japanese Proverb

Designed by DINO, the unique, textless interface encourages you to explore composition through the organic growth of wildflowers. With just five different plants to cultivate, you can create surprisingly organic and complex illustrations. Experiment with simple settings to discover how size and fading affect the growth of the flowers and can lead to amazingly different compositions.
When you are feeling stress, take a moment to travel through Akina and let the soothing act of creation calm your spirit.
Tips:
* Try gently drumming your fingers across the field to create bushes of flowers.
* Mix your flowers.
* Wildflowers cant be forced - they can only be encouraged to grow a certain way.
* Try using longer fade periods and layering differently sized plants.
* Use the iPads screenshot mechanism to capture your compositions for use as background images.
