Launch Party!
Woo! Ok, not really. But do you remember the launch parties from 10, 15, or 20 years ago? If so, you are old (according to Buzzfeed).
Going back at least 20 years, I recall going to a party in NYC for an Absolut Vodka launch. In the heyday of Flash content, they were kingmakers. They would hire digital artists for no other purpose than to create something fabulous for this new WWW thing. We were doing work for their agency of record at the time, TBWA\Chiat\Day, and we got to produce a short animation. After the animation, the user was presented with this 3D interface for choosing different QuickTime video clips of their commercials to watch. I Googled it and found that our PM at the time still has his ancient (retro?) blog online https://lnkd.in/gwwcqpUm
Not a launch party but one of the best NYC parties for me was for Peter Shankman's 30th. Still the best scotch and sushi I've had to date. I recall chatting with one of the VIPs from Boo.com Tristan Louis, over drinks (and edamame). The rest of the night is very hazy.
A mere ten (12?) years ago, I was invited to this party https://lnkd.in/grvdq3h8 in London. The venue was the French Embassy. Très bien. Ok, now I'm just humblebragging.
My point is that we went live with https://lucidcircus.com/ - still running some tests, but I'm proud of the result. I want to thank Vladimír Krajčovič for his work on the design and Krista Walsh for helping me to find my voice.
I hope you like it. Feel free to let me know if you find any easter eggs (or bugs).
Extremely proud of our work to design and build this resource for the Child Mind Institute and the children of California.
///
The COVID-19 pandemic and other mounting pressures have left many children struggling emotionally. In response, the Child Mind Institute has developed The California Healthy Minds, Thriving Kids Project, made possible by a $25 million grant from the State of California.
This series of free videos and print resources for parents, educators, and students, available in English and Spanish, is designed to promote children’s emotional health and help them thrive. These videos empower caregivers and educators to teach kids essential coping skills, including:
- Understanding Feelings
- Relaxation Skills
- Understanding Thoughts
- Managing Intense Emotions
- Mindfulness
The videos feature the voices and lived experiences of caregivers, teachers and kids today. Videos for the elementary school age group use a whimsical story-telling approach to engage younger viewers and make the lessons more memorable.
