Limitless visual ideation and creative communication to navigate your ideas

Recognising that artists and creatives like to brainstorm visually, Mischief 2.1 has introduced a new way of ideating and collaborating on an infinite canvas. This next generation Mischief solution eliminates the boundaries of notebooks or whiteboards, giving unlimited freedom to sketch and map ideas during the brainstorming process.

The addition of ‘Pins’ to Mischief 2.1 allows easy navigation of the infinite canvas, with the ability to drop pinpoints of interest on the canvas, creating an index of sketches and visualisations. Managed by a Pins panel, creatives can journey sequentially, jump around between pins, or zoom out at any time to see the full picture, transforming the canvas into an ideas map.  The enhanced solution provides a fluid, compelling and creative way to look at art, concepts or stories.

Mike Miles, visual facilitator and founder of Visually Speaking, said: “Mischief is my go to tool for ideation and illustration, it’s just like a sketchbook or flipchart in an office but it helps to form ideas so people can visualise what is going on, and you can build on it and share it easily.

“One of the best things about Mischief is the infinite canvas, being able to go into the milky way of detail is fantastic. Compositionally, it helps a great deal. You can drop a pin over a certain area, go in close and zoom back out and see the image in its entirety. The Pins offer a really good way of navigating your thoughts and the freedom that it brings gives the user the ability to be more creative.”

Sarah Frisken, founder and chief scientist, Made with Mischief said: “Mischief, in essence, enables the free flow of ideas, and with Mischief 2.1 you can create a map of ideas and sketches on a canvas with no boundaries. Mischief 2.1 now offers infinite ways to ideate and create concepts, enhancing its appeal for storyboarding, brainstorming and anyone who wants to draw visual concepts.”

The #Londoners London

Made with Mischief and Mike Miles, a specialist in digital visualisation, will partner with Wacom to stage a series of live drawing events in the capital to demonstrate the unique capabilities of Mischief 2.1 on Wacom’s Cintiq Companion 2.

The events will be held on Tuesday 23rd June, between 10am and 6pm, where Miles will pitch up at several well-known London landmarks in Westminster, Soho and the East End to create a unique map highlighting the most ‘off the radar’ and loved hotspots in the city. Compiled by Londoners for Londoners, members of the public and well known city dwellers, such as Nigel Evans PM, The Groucho Club manager Bernie Katz and The Rib Man,, will provide their insight into the most interesting buildings, sites and attractions for Miles to sketch.

Join Mike Miles live on the streets of the capital or follow online via Made with Mischief’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we will pre announce his route, post his drawings throughout the day and take suggestions of undiscovered gems using #LondonersLondon and tagging @GetMischief and @Wacomeurope for Twitter, and @madewithmischief and @Wacomeu for Facebook and @madewithmishief and @wacom on Instagram.
