The document discusses Ideatoons, a visual thinking tool using pattern language and graphic symbols instead of words. It breaks challenges down into attributes, represents each with a symbol card, and mixes them up to link into new ideas. An example task has participants use Ideatoons to brainstorm ideas for a first date based on attributes like budget, dining, entertainment, and communication. The process is meant to provoke ideas in a non-verbal, visual way by finding relationships between the mixed-up symbol cards.
