Creative Pros...before you read on, think of this as a plugin to Adobe Illustrator that can be used on your iPad. It can quickly generate all sorts of vector patterns and graphics that can't be made easily any other way (some can) Proceed.... The Art Fountain Vector Art Generator is unlike other illustration applications in that you don't "draw" because it draws for you and you tell it what to draw. It can be used by all manner of Graphic Artists and Designers to quickly create copyright free, unique art using our innovative DNA (Dynamic Non-repeating Art) generator technology. Create anything from super simple patterns to complex multi-layered art and export as PNG file, Layerd PSD or Vector PDF (with in-app purchase). Because the images are created algorithmically, these PDFs would take hours to create any other way and they can be immediately opened and edited in popular Photo and Vector editing software such as Adobe® Photoshop® or Illustrator®. Serious graphic artists will find this to be an indispensible tool in their arsenal and casual designers will have endless hours of fun playing with the generators. It's not meant to replace traditional tools but to enhance them sort of like a plugin does, performing tedious actions with ease. Animate your layers with the tap of a button. While this feature is only for checking your layer separation (for now), it looks pretty cool and it's free. Add layer after layer and control each layer independently or tap the Infinity button to create a totally different variation on all layers at once. When you save an Art Fountain file, you save an entire class of art that can be generated fresh any time. We have a backlog of hundreds of generators which will be added to the app over time. The set that is currently available can produce an astonishing variety of beautiful art. The Polka Dot generators alone will astonish you with the sheer variety possible, especially when layered. Watch out Damien Hirst! Create art for: • Backgrounds • Fine Art • Corporate Art • Hotel Art • Banners • Video and TV • Vector Manipulation • Textiles • Fashion • Industrial Design • Web Graphics • Desktop Publishing • Digital Publishing Save files in native Art Fountain format (settings only), PNG with transparency, Photoshop layers or Vector PDF via Dropbox™ and Email.

Free Version Allows: • Access to all generators • Up to 3 layers • Save Settings • Stock Sizes • Animation Additional Purchases Available: • Unlimited layers • Custom Sizing • Custom Color • Save PNG, PSD • Vector PDF packs or individual (much less than Stock Vector Art)
What fun!
Nice to be addicted to something actually creative for a change! I see so much potential for gifts made from images that are already treasured by people. Take a favorite photo and our it into a unique and beautiful work of art. True, Peter McClard gave you the tool, but you get to be the artist. Even if you've never been an artist before, if "you know what you like" you can do it! Hope this app gets the play it deserves.
Crash
I'm about to buy that drumming app you make. So, I decided to try your free app to see what your programming style is like. The app seems a bit clunky and crashed within 20 secs. Not very reassuring.
Art fountain is amazing
Art fountain is an extremely helpful and cool tool for making art designs and pictures. What I love about it most is that you can layer the pictures and change the opacity and for the best part, being able to animate those pictures!
Love it!
Very playful and entertaining!
Art Fountain is short on Art, long on IAP
Art Fountain is a mildly interesting application that uses a set of rules to create random wallpaper-like patterns. Occasionally the app produces a good result but the majority of the randomizations have the poor, outdated look of a 90s screensaver. Unfortunately the developer undermines any goodwill with a IAP scheme that is egregious: the one time purchases to enable all of the application's functionality total $22.00 and the ability to export the artwork as a PDF file is pay as you go - about a dollar for each PDF. The professional user who would most likely benefit from the PDF export already has the skill to quickly bang out the same sort of wallpaper in Illustrator without the tedious trial and error of Art Fountain. If the application allowed greater customization and produced a higher quality result, then perhaps the expense would be justified. But considering the modest return on a considerable investment it is money wasted.
