Locations for artist photos were also considered for the poster design, which went through several revisions before a final version was selected.
Construction dvd cover...
The document describes the process of designing a DVD cover in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Key steps included editing photographs in Photoshop by cutting out sections, applying filters, and adjusting colors and brightness. Templates were also edited in Photoshop by removing unneeded areas. The edited images and templates were then placed in InDesign along with text. Multiple revisions were made to text size, color, positioning and effects to improve readability and cohesiveness with the overall design. Layers in InDesign were used to organize and position elements on the front and back covers.
Construction Of Digipak
The document describes the process of editing photos and designing a digipak for a band. Key steps included:
1) Editing photos in Photoshop by adding lens flares and color effects to highlight tattoos and create consistency across products.
2) Arranging photos, cropping and resizing images within the digipak.
3) Adding similar lens flare and color effects to photos used for song titles and band information to create cohesion.
[Q4]
Gemma Goodwin used various media technologies at different stages of her music video project. [1] She researched artists online, planned the storyboard digitally and via meetings, and filmed footage using HD cameras. [2] She edited the video using Adobe Premiere Pro, adding effects, transitions, and syncing audio and video. [3] For promotional materials, she designed album artwork and a magazine ad using Adobe Photoshop, manipulating images to fit the industrial rock genre.
Question 2
This document discusses the process of creating ancillary materials like a CD cover and advertisement for an indie pop girl band called Sassy. It describes researching other bands for inspiration, experimenting with different fonts and layouts, taking professional photos, and making revisions based on feedback. The key aspects are choosing a recognizable logo, representing the band's style and personalities visually, and creating a simple yet eye-catching design for the target audience.
Question 2
The document discusses the process of creating ancillary materials like logos, advertisements, and CD covers for an indie pop girl band called Sassy. It describes how they experimented with different fonts, layouts, photos and designs based on research of other pop artists. They received feedback that their initial designs were unrealistic and didn't represent the band's image well. So they simplified the designs, choosing cleaner fonts and a photo that showed the band literally "pulling shapes" as their album is called. For the final CD cover, they also changed to using the advertisement design for consistency across their materials.
The Design Process
The document describes the process of editing a photograph into a creepy image for a CD cover using Photoshop. Key techniques included converting the image to black and white, adjusting exposure and saturation to emphasize light and remove orange tones, blurring the eyes to make them fully white, and using burn tools to darken shadows. Text was added using blended fonts and effects to match the artist's style and make the text stand out. Additional images from the artist's work were incorporated at low opacity. These same editing techniques and design elements were then applied to create matching magazine and back cover advertisements.
Dvd1
The document summarizes the process of constructing a DVD cover in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Key steps included:
1. Editing a photograph in Photoshop by cutting off the top and experimenting with filters to make it stand out as the front cover image.
2. Editing a template in Photoshop by cutting out the inside to create a usable PNG template for the DVD cover and back.
3. Placing the edited image and adding text in InDesign to construct the DVD cover, changing font size and color to make the text visible.
4. Further editing a heart graphic and brick wall photo in Photoshop, changing colors to link the front and back
Dvd
The document describes the process of designing a DVD cover in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Key steps included editing photographs in Photoshop using filters and cutting tools to prepare images for the front and back covers. Text and elements were then arranged in InDesign to construct the final DVD cover design, with consideration given to font size, color, and positioning of elements. Further editing in Photoshop and arrangement in InDesign was done to refine the design until it met expectations for professional quality and cohesiveness between the front and back covers.
Photography planning
The document discusses photography planning for a digipak and advertisement for The Killers' new album. It describes choosing a cityscape photograph with a focus on the sky to fit with The Killers' conventions. Various ideas are discussed for editing the photo such as adding a dark filter to convey the album's emotional depth. Additional photos of the band members are considered to include inside the digipak. Edits are explored like desaturating the colors to make the band members appear darker and match the tone of the packaging. The final design includes darker edits of the band photos with cropped white frames around each member.
Question 2
The document discusses the process of creating ancillary materials like logos, CD covers, and advertisements for an indie pop girl band called Sassy. It describes how they looked to other bands for inspiration and experimented with different fonts, layouts, and photos. Through feedback from focus groups and research, they realized their initial designs were unrealistic or unclear. They simplified the designs to be more professional, using larger fonts, portrait orientations, and photos that better represented the band's image and album concept of "pulling shapes." The final CD cover and advertisement designs were consistent in using photos from their music video shoot.
Evaluation a2 media 2
The group decided to create a digipak and website to promote their new band Ultraviolet. For the digipak, they chose images reflecting both an indoor, illuminated club theme and outdoor, natural light theme to represent the band's EDM/house genre. They took photos and edited them in Photoshop to create cohesive front, back and inside covers linking the digipak to their music video. For the website, they used a simple, navigable design inspired by other artists. They incorporated consistent photos and colors across platforms to brand Ultraviolet.
Media Evaluation 1-4 by Amy Sparks
Our media product is a concept-based music video that uses visual metaphors and symbolism to represent the themes of cheating explored in the song lyrics. We developed a visual brand identity centered around the motif of a red hand and used consistent typography, layout, and color palette across the music video, magazine advertisement, and CD cover. Audience feedback was positive and suggested we make the motif and meaning of the lamp symbolism clearer. We incorporated new media technologies like video editing software, desktop publishing, and blogs to construct, plan, and evaluate our project.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Cd Cover evaluation A2 Media
- 1. CD Cover Evaluation This is a power point explaining the process of making our CD Cover as a part of our promotional package…
- 2. These were the pictures we chose to use as we noticed that they were similar to that of the ones used in the r ‘n’ b genre The poses we used were based on real life cd cases, from people such as the pussycat dolls and the Saturdays, we were also inspired by other r ‘n’ b artists such as ciara and Bow Wow.
- 3. We uploaded both of the photos to Photoshop and then took the backgrounds away using the magic wand tool However while taking the backgrounds off we realised that the picture on the left was not coming out clear but infact had a black background! This was easily solved by unlocking the layer We then placed one of the photos in to the other to create one picture of us together
- 4. We then cropped the photo using the crop tool on Photoshop in order to make in fit in to the Cd and also to allow us to do our chosen style of pop art. The process was repeated for the image to be used on our back cover.
- 5. To make our front cover we used a photo editing website called Fotoflexer this enabled us to get the effect we wanted as quickly, easily and efficiently as possible The first thing we needed to do was upload the picture then we tried on different effects however we felt the one for us was pop art Once adding the effect we saw that the colours did not match our theme of “Girl Power” and so we played around with the hue and saturation levers until finally we found a colour that worked Once completing this we decided that no CD Cover was complete until writing was added to state the CD Title and the artists the layout of the writing we chose by using other examples of album covers. However once adding the text we realised that the title should have been more of a main feature this the motivated us to make it bigger than the rest of writing which we felt would draw the audiences attention to it. To finalise our cover we added a logo which would again be used for the promotional poster
- 6. We made the back of our Cd the same colours as the front so that they wouldn’t contrast. We the added text to it following the norms of a conventional CD cover by writing the songs compiled on the CD After adding the text however we still found something was missing, so we looked some more Cd cases and saw that they had added text at the bottom about the producers and so on, so this is precisely what we did We also added the second picture that we edited behind the text I feel this gave a very constructive outlook on the back cover and also made it look more professional. We placed both pictures on power point to see what they would look like placed together There was still something missing so once again we searched through some CD covers and found that they all had a strip in between stating the artist and title names so we added this and grouped it all together to create our final Cd .
