## What is DrawnIn?

DrawnIn is a great stand-alone messenger but it's much more than that. It's also part of the patent pending DrawnIn Party and Event System where the mobile apps become input and controllers for our Desktop Program Party Projector (coming soon) that creates numerous styles of "Light Shows" from you and your friends or attendee's content. Perfect for conferences concerts, festivals, birthdays, rituals or any celebration. Party Projector delivers messages in style by limo, stage coach and other fancy methods.

DrawnIn represents a new breed of social media on a mission to make your communications beautiful and inspiring. We've all had our fair share of little emoticons and plain text but something gets lost in the process—the personality! This means going beyond speech bubbles and cute bubble styles into the realm of art. We believe communication can be more artful, better designed and more fun and also get back to some of the things we used to do such as hand writing and doodling notes. We know that everybody has a different idea of what looks good so we made sure to build in almost infinite variability so you can find the look that's right for you. We are using our patented Art Fountain technology to give your content and infinite life of ever-changing beauty.

DrawnIn lets you send hand-writing, doodles and traces as regular instant messages. But that's not all, it randomly generates cool animated backgrounds and renders your drawings in unexpected ways. Sure, we let you type in "regular" messages, but we make sure they look good on the other end, worthy of the feeling you put into your typing, not just the same old boring font and look. The founder of Apple, Mr. Steve Jobs, was a true appreciator of fonts and typography and so we aim to bring a higher level of typography to messaging, especially as DrawnIn evolves over the next year.

• Stream content to the Party Projector desktop application for Mac where content is animated in sync with music and you can project it or put it on a high def TV with Airplay
• Connect with your Facebook friends
