Pray for the Stars

Pray for the Stars is a pretty neat project and one that has become an instant favorite. The purpose of the project is to create a community of people that would ask in behalf of those that are often forgotten.

In our culture, celebrities are held up on a pedestal where they are worshiped and loved; but when they fall off of that pedestal and they hit rock bottom, they suddenly become an afterthought. There at their lowest, the only attention they receive is from the media who exploits them and their tragedies for the sake of society’s amusement.

Pray for the stars wants to do the opposite. They want to gather like-minded people to reach out and share the hope, even if they will never know that someone was praying for them.

IHOP–KC Video Player

For those of you who do not know, both Eduardo and I serve at the International House of Prayer in our in-house design department. We have worked there for the past two years and absolutely love it.

Since I serve as the senior web designer, part of my responsibility is to work on some of the really cool projects, like this one. I was given the task to design an embeddable player for our organization. Our media team provided all of the requirements and I got to work on the wire-framing and interface design. Not only did I have the pleasure of creating this stand-alone player, but I also created the multi-player that holds all of the different channels/categories/archives, meta tag info, and downloadable links.

The amazing people of dribbble gave me some feedback which helped refined the design. Once the full player has been launched, I’ll make sure to post a link.
