The document discusses the author's process for creating images in Photoshop. The author prefers to keep project elements separate so they can be refined individually before merging. Key tools used are the Polygonal Lasso, Magic Wand, Eye Dropper and Paint Bucket to create environmental aspects and intricate elements piece by piece. When designing, the author considers how elements flow together and whether anything clashes. Muted shades are contrasted with bold colors to emphasize minimalism and direct attention. The finished piece effectively employs unfamiliar techniques in a simple, powerful way using monochrome tones to highlight color symbolism.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. Process
• Personally, I prefer to have every
individual piece of the project separate
from each other, so that they can be
properly constructed and refined to
the point where I am satisfied with
them. Because of this practice I tend to
create a lot of layers and then merge
them together when I believe that
they are ready. This method of file
management helps to create a more
accessible work environment for me,
and helps me to organise this space as
new ideas come to me.
3. Process
My preferred tools when constructing
images in Photoshop are the Polygonal
Lasso, the Magic Wand, the Eye Dropper,
and the Paint Bucket. I use these tools to
primarily create environmental aspects
from scratch, but I also use them to make
more intricate elements piece-by-piece. I
like to use these tools the most because I
prefer their simplicity over the more
complicated techniques, using them to
build up a solid base that I can then
expand on.
4. Process
Whenever I create something I think
about how the different elements I want
to employ flow together, and whether
anything clashes against each other. Some
aspects within this experiment work and
others don’t, such as the silhouette, sun
and background against the text, and how
they could be more subtly enhanced to
flow better. The palette of muted shades
contrasted against bold and bright colours
helps to emphasize the minimalistic
aesthetic of the project, and works to
direct the audience’s attention towards
certain aspects of the piece.
5. Process
While I still believe I could do better, I am satisfied with the finished piece and the
successful employment of techniques that are unfamiliar to me. I see it as
somewhat bare compared to the previous experiments, but also effective and
powerful in its simplicity. The more monochromatic aesthetic works to highlight
what colour there is in the image, and draws the audience towards the deeper
symbolism of the product.
The bulk of the image is made
up of imported images that fit
the aesthetics of the project,
and have been altered to fit
with each other in a more
streamlined fashion. For
example, the background
image’s opacity has been
turned down to seventy-
percent, while the central
crown has had a gradation
placed on it to ease the
audience’s eyes. These make
the product easier to digest
and less harsh to look at,
especially when contrasted
against a darker background.
The general idea for this piece
was to explore the more
minimalistic aspects of the
project, and how they could
still be used to represent the
game correctly. By expressing
only a small amount of colour
and opting for an almost silvery
sheen, it creates an
emboldened effect, and stands
out because of how the subtler
effects.
6. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
• I believe that overall style of the project has been accurately nailed down, with
primarily grey tones contrasted against small patches of colour, and overlaid with
patterns to highlight an individual aspect of the piece.
• I think that things to avoid would be overwhelming the audience with too much
vibrancy, as it would clash against the aesthetics and come off as gaudy.
