Event Creative and Analysis

Web Creative Event Creative Liturgy
Commons Image here Event Analysis is a service designed to help organizations understand and manage their events. Event Analysis applies especially to core events. For instance, the organization is the Department of Justice. The core event is the court of law. The department, its policies and legislation exist to service the event. It pays to understand that core event. Commons Image here
For organizations responsible for existing events, event analysis uncovers and presents the creative direction of the event, i.e. its core values, and the execution of that creative direction in real time and space. For organizations wishing to develop events, event analysis creates the creative direction and an executable plan for real time and space. Events include web sites by virtue of their interactivity. Web browsers are like audiences at an event since they have the ability to help shape the structural experience of the event. This ability transcends simple reader or viewer response to a medium. Like any event, formative interactive transactions take place at well-designed web sites just as they do at a trade show, parade or award ceremony.

Event Analysis

Events are places in time and space where community life happens. For government, events tend to be the arena where the apogee of government activity takes place. For instance, the apogee of the department of Citizenship and Immigration's activity is the event of Citizenship Ceremonies. Even for Churches, the activity that distinguishes Churches from charities and social clubs is the event set of liturgies like communion, reconciliation, baptism etc. For the private sector, events dealing with shareholder, customer and investor relations (marketing shows, annual meetings) and business site activity (who parks where, who has which office, who physically reports to whom) all make up the perceptible corporate image and personality. For web designers, the web site is a New Media Heraldry device that identifies an organization out of the chaotic field of information available. Their challenge is to replicate all the events that comprise the organization on to a screen. All these events really make up the core of much organizational life. They have, by definition, symbol structure. That structure can be managed or ignored, but it will always be there communicating at the most visercal level.
