Steps to designing your portfolio when you're new to designNavdeep Raj
I was invited to be a guest lecturer for Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism graduate students spending their fall semester at Northwestern's San Francisco campus.
My lecture was around Web & Communication Design, and part of the hands-on activity involved students applying these fundamentals to designing their first portfolio.
While there are a ton of web services like Wix & Squarespace that let you start with pre-created templates and customize them, might still help dissect and understand the various considerations that go into designing a portfolio. I figured the extended community of early designers & non-designers might benefit from it.
Get your website working - for you! Find out how your website can become a powerful tool to market your foundation. Learn about best practices and common mistakes in this practical look at what makes, and breaks, good web communication.

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).
Speakers:

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.
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.

3. What does good
look like?
RNIB (Royal National Institute for
the Blind) – obviously main
accessibility needs are for the
partially sighted.
• Clear text
• High contrast
• Large Font
• Descriptive links
• Double identifiers for actions
(underline and colour to show
links)
4. What does good
look like?
Scope – campaigning for disability
equality
• Super simple navigation
• Navigation Hierarchy
• Good and usable search (it
actually returns relevant results)
• Big Fonts
• Good colour contrast
5. What does good
look like?
Happy Penguin – fin-tech company*
• Big Fonts
• Good colour contrast
• Easy to use functions
*Just ‘cause it’s accessible doesn’t mean it’s a
great organisation. Happy Penguin provides
short term loans and I don’t know enough
about them to endorse what they do
10. What can you focus
on without the help
of a developer?
• Don’t forget the ALT-text
• Go for Contrast
• Write it, test it, write it again
• Keep your design simple
• Make sure you describe your
linked text
• Check how things work on
many devices and many
browsers
• Go beyond and use a screen-
reader on your site
It can seem that accessibility considerations can get in the way of your design but, good digital design is accessible design. It doesn’t have to be a burden either, most of the basics are just that and will also help with things like SEO. So who are we looking to be accessible for?
Also, it’s kind of the law. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 states that we should not discriminate those that are differently abled by removing access to our product or service – this means wheelchair ramps, but it also means web accessibility. No private individual has actually been prosecuted for not complying as yet for web accessibility – there are different and more exacting standards for public services.
No-one can be 100%
There are some guidelines to follow and some test you can do, but please don’t concern yourself too much with those. If you really want to – take a look at the WCAG 21 guidelines if you want to get really in to it.

Neuro diversity can cover those with severe autism to those with dyslexia and dyspraxia. The basics of good copywriting and ensuring good contrast for text can really help you out. Good copywriting in this sense means, understandable from the users perspective. Using simple, basic language to convey your messaging. A lot of the work that we did around clarifying our values and USP will really help with this. But another thing that can help, ask a friend that knows nothing about what you are doing to not only look at your website but complete an action. I would normally advocate for using this to have a customer conversation and ask a stranger in a coffee shop to take a look, but that’s off the cards for the next few months.
Those that have visual impairments and others with learning difficulties may use screen-readers to understand websites and apps.
Some key things to be aware of here.
Alt text – don’t add images with text on
Descriptive links
Video Transcripts
The good news? This can also help your SEO
The other thing to consider is that some people with physical disabilities (and those that are a bit lazy) may use keyboard navigation on your website.
This means that your menu and page set up needs to be set up for this. Most website builders will do this for you on the menu but the key thing here is to ensure that each menu item is clickable. If you have submenu options they need to open as soon as the cursor gets to the parent menu option.
e.g. About (parent), Our Team and Contact Us (children)
As well as this a Heading and link hierarchy is really important. Descriptive links are key here to as some people my be using both screen-readers and keyboard nav on your site.
We all do it – we go to a site on our phone and the links are too small or too close together for us to interact with on our phones and so we give up.
