Introducing the Perculator App!

What do you get when you combine “percentage” and “calculator”? The Perculator, of course--an iPhone app developed by c|change that’s now available on iTunes!

We’ve all been out shopping and come across a 25% sign off a sweater that’s $40. But exactly how much is that? you wonder. With the Perculator, now you don’t have to. Just open the app and swipe.

How did the Percualor come about? The app developers at c|change wanted to learn how to design and develop a simple app for iPhone. They floated several ideas around before arriving on the percentage calculator, which would be playful, intuitive, simple and, most important, useful. 

Paul, c|change’s interactive art director, worked with our web developer, Tomas, to design the interface, and Tomas learned Swift to develop it. (The app was completely developed in Swift.) The design concept revolved around building a no-standard interface that invites the user to play around and discover new things on their own. 

We’re pretty proud of the Perculator. Check it out and see what you think!

c|changers Take the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge

On May 21, 2015, a group of c|changers kicked off the Memorial Day weekend with a bang (literally) by competing in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge® Series in Chicago--the race’s first U.S. stop. They even got a shout-out at from the emcee at the starting line due to their eye-catching team tee-shirts, designed by c|change’s own Jacqueline Justice.

As it turns out, the c|changers were just a few of the 25,474 runners and walkers from 649 companies who competed in the record-setting Chicago race. According to the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge website:

The Windy City will have the largest single-night Corporate Challenge in the U.S. No event this year will top the 25K+ that was on hand for this. New York will have 30,000 people in Central Park in June, but over two nights.

Yep...cuz that’s how we run roll.

c|change was pleased to be invited as guests of the World Federation for Mental Health to the International Mental Health Congress in Lille, France (an hour north of Paris via TGV).

To further underscore our involvement in the latest issues of mental health, several members of the Dialogue on Diabetes and Depression--another group for whom we provide website support--presented on the growing body of evidence surrounding the comorbidity of mental and physical health.

Honest Promotion

At six in the morning at the Starbuck's in Venice Beach, a yoga instructor is getting her morning cappa/frappa/somedrink and offering her companions in line a "thought for the day" from a small drawstring bag. It includes the URL for her studio, but one would like to believe it also offers an honest meditation for the day.

The Visual Grammar of Birdman

We’re big fans of Elvis Mitchell’s show The Treatment on KCRW.

This particular podcast is an interview with Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu and Emmanuel Lubezki about their film “Birdman.”

Whether you liked the movie or not, you’ll find the interview thought-provoking like Alejandro’s quote on the “visual grammar” of films:

“I think that’s been something that’s been lost in a way, because nobody pays attention. Everyone is worried about the story or the ending: the commodity of it.

It’s like if you see 99% of the reviews, you don’t hear them talk about the visual grammar of a film.”

c is for community

This fall c|change got the opportunity to partner with Bear Hugs Children’s Fund and Kipp Ascend Primary school on Chicago’s West Side to help support the school's art department. Founded in 2007 by Dana Mayber (the sister of c|change account manager Lauren), Bear Hugs’ mission is to send a S.M.I.L.E (Shelter, Medical assistance, Independence, Love, and Education) to children in need locally and globally. To help with that mission, c|change purchased supplies so that creative Kippsters (see photos!) could do more art projects like drawing, painting, ceramics and clay modeling. The Kippsters also drew different types of greeting cards (that c|change designers Jenny and Mark turned into printed cards and envelopes). The cards will be sold at Kipp’s annual art fair to raise money for the school.
