One of the earth’s biggest book publishers, Penguin USA, created a fun and fastidious way to destroy office papers: “Wreck This App”!
Does a dictionary or reference page give you the willies? Do wild ideas then emerge as to how to secretly scrawl all over said page, outside the words, on top of the headings, and–let’s get dangerously adventurous now–in the margins themselves?
Whoa! You are bad! Do not deface private and/or public property, even if that property is a reference book. Use the “Wreck This App” program instead.
The game, for the iPhone and iPad, is based on Keri Smith’s world-renowned book Wreck This Journal. It centers on spilling ink, doodling, and poking holes into photographs, newspapers, and book pages (that appear to be genuinely important).
The creative mind is often too bogged down with the big R, responsibility, especially when school or an office is a hellish obligation that cannot be undone. So “Wreck This App” was created as a simple, intuitive, and clean way to visually deface, mark up, graffiti, tag, and destroy real-looking pages that appear on the touchscreen.
Many colors of ink are available in the App to dump, shower, and spill on top of the “Wreck This App” application’s paperwork. An angry office habitat can be thrust through the pages, as a well-placed finger simulates poking holes in documents with ease. It is addictive.
The “Wreck This App” is on sale through August 16, but it is still a bit pricey, at five bucks. The Penguin application is quality, but you have to pay for it.
