ThoughtOffice Comic Genius is a brainstorming and creativity program based on IdeaFisher's classic methods of Associative Thinking. Comic Genius is specifically designed to help you find & exploit humorous associations - because, in the end, that?s the root of all comedy. Associative Thinking (or Lateral Thinking) is the process of following links between ideas by connecting words, phrases, concepts, & experiences. ThoughtOffice uses this process to trigger comedic associations from ideas & knowledge you already have stored in your brain. It also builds new associations, prompted by open-ended questions designed by professional comics & writers, plus powerful associative searches using the built-in idea-search engine. Starting with expert-level queries in the areas of Writing, Public Speaking, & Screenwriting, you will be able to update & refine your act, or create unique & memorable shows quickly & expertly. Next, use the integrated idea search engine to rapidly and dramatically expand your associative thinking process. The IdeaBrowser search engine helps you quickly & easily find hilarious new associations in the form of images, definitions, quotes, lyrics, & more. In addition to these powerful search tools, ThoughtOffice also gives you a place to organize it all, merging your research, thoughts, answers, & other material into a Brainstorming Session you can save or share with others. Sessions can be displayed using the built-in Slideshow viewer, converted into a PDF file, exported as an HTML or text file, or printed in 4 different formats. And the Session Document carries with it your ID and © notice. There's no question where a joke originated. With ThoughtOffice, you get killer comic muscle in an award-winning package used by some of the world's best-known comedians. And ThoughtOffice is guaranteed. If the program doesn't meet your needs, we will refund your purchase immediately. ThoughtOffice Comic Genius is available for Windows XP/Vista & Mac OS X.
