Content library

Ten categories,
one coherent system.

Every category has its own design language, colour, font, flash frequency, ego style, based on ten years of field research. The awareness category has three ego-style variants per message (Parent, Adult, Child) so you can pick the right tone for your audience.

Pre-event
PRE

Stakeholders informeren in de dagen en uren voor het event: vrijwilligers, buurtbewoners, leveranciers, crew. Aanvangstijden, programma, klachtenkanaal.

The science behind it

Not a content generator
a behavioural influence system.

Every choice in the library, colour, font, animation, word order, traces back to a principle from behavioural psychology and field research. This is what a generic video API can't offer you.

01
Activate the subconscious brain

95% of daily decisions happen subconsciously. We use 13 triggers that speak to this system directly, familiarity, freedom, social identity, scarcity, to steer behaviour without coercion.

02
Three ego styles (Eric Berne)

Parent (preachy, avoidance), Adult (empathetic, preference), Child (emotional, humorous). Every awareness message gets three variants so the tone fits the audience and context.

03
Prevent content blindness

Emergency content must look visually different from general content. Repetition lowers attention value. That's why: a separate design language for warning/incident, with a border flashing 3ร— per second.

04
Visual zone & movement

Only 2-5ยฐ of sharp vision, movement in the periphery triggers evolutionary alertness. So always subtle animation. Pictograms before text, for non-native speakers and for speed under stress.

05
Message + action advice

A message without a follow-up action is usually pointless. Every warning, weather or incident in our library is paired with a fitting piece of action advice (priming, nudging).

06
Speed > design (in emergencies)

In incidents the priority order is: content on screen โ†’ precise wording โ†’ animations โ†’ design. The system is built so the first step can happen within seconds.
