Stop staring at the blank canvas.

Portfolio Ideator is built around the hardest part of an art-school application: not the making, but the deciding what to make. A two-step form — multi-select disciplines, then a long-form brain dump of interests, frustrations, and references — feeds into a Gemini prompt designed to return briefs an admissions tutor would respect: specific enough to start tomorrow, ambitious enough to read like a thesis. The interface is intentionally serif-and-monospace to feel like an academic worksheet, not a SaaS product.
