The document analyzes and makes inferences about the intended audience of a magazine based on visual elements of its cover and contents page. Some of the key points made are:
- The minimalist and classical style suggests an audience that is older, more educated and higher income.
- Bold colors and images are used to draw attention and emphasize important people and content.
- Busy layouts imply more content while simplistic styles suggest a focus on quality over quantity.
- Dark themes and intimidating images may attract an audience interested in edgier music genres.
- Placement and size of mastheads, images and text provide clues about the hierarchy of importance.
This magazine uses bright, passionate colors that represent its bold theme and showcase new, inspiring indie and rock talents. The youthful color theme highlights what the magazine is about and the artists driving the independent music industry. The bold colors relate to the magazine's indie/rock focus and convey a sense of rarity in the music business through their mature, natural tones.

The document describes how the author created an image by cutting a door from one photo and pasting it into a second photo to include all desired aspects. However, the combined image has the wrong shape for the intended front cover, so another photo will need to be taken for the cover while this image can be used for the contents page instead.
This document summarizes Julien Barbier's presentation on community marketing at Docker. Some key points include:
1) Community represents 80% of Docker's marketing through lower budgets and higher conversion rates than traditional marketing.
2) A community is as strong as the number of links between its members, and IRL links are more valuable than online links. The focus is on what you can do for the community rather than what it can do for you.
3) Tracking and measuring everything is important for monitoring community growth and impact. Both online and offline communities should be developed through events, content creation, and helping the existing community grow.
Docker, the Future of Distributed Applications | Docker Tour de France 2014Julien Barbier
This document provides a 10-minute overview of Docker by Julien Barbier, Jérôme Petazzoni and Victor Coisne of Zenika, Paris. It discusses how applications have changed from monolithic to distributed and microservices, and the problems this poses. It then introduces Docker as an "intermodal container" that provides consistency across hardware environments like shipping containers standardized global cargo transport. Docker allows applications to be easily developed, deployed and migrated. The document notes many major companies now use Docker and provides a case study of how New Relic migrated to Docker. It concludes by discussing Docker's growth in Europe.
This document discusses Docker's community strategy. It emphasizes that community represents the majority of Docker's marketing efforts through word-of-mouth promotion. It stresses engaging communities both online through social networks like Twitter, Reddit, and Hacker News, and offline through local meetups. The key aspects are participating in discussions, sharing community content, identifying and engaging influencers, and helping the community grow itself by empowering local meetup organizers.
This document describes how to build a proof of concept Software as a Service (SaaS) using Docker containers. It discusses creating a Docker image with Memcached installed, and using that image to spawn new Memcached containers for each user upon registration on a website. When a user signs up, a new container running Memcached is created for that user using the Docker API. The user is then provided with the IP address and public port of their Memcached container so they can access it.

Roman White is a renowned music video director who has worked with major artists like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. He is known for using certain shots and techniques across many of his videos. Some of his signatures include wide angle shots that make the audience feel immersed, close-up shots that convey emotion, and out-of-focus shots that focus to represent an artist finding clarity. He also often includes narrative storylines that relate to the lyrics, though this approach may not work for all songs. Roman directs in various genres and subtly hints at the genre through visual cues in the videos.
Social identity theory proposes that people categorize themselves and others into social groups. People tend to favor the groups they belong to and view them more positively than other groups. Individuals aim to enhance their self-esteem through the groups they identify with. There are two belief systems for achieving this enhancement: social mobility, believing one can change groups to improve status, and social change, believing one must challenge the status quo by competing with higher status groups. Understanding social identity theory can help create more effective marketing like music videos by appealing to the social identities and groups of the target audience.
Social identity theory proposes that people categorize themselves and others into social groups. People tend to favor the groups they belong to and view them more positively than other groups. Members of a group work to enhance the status and image of their group. There are two belief systems for improving one's social identity: social mobility, believing one can change groups to gain status; and social change, believing one must challenge the status quo since boundaries cannot be crossed. Understanding social identity theory can help create more effective music videos by appealing to the social identities and groups of the target audience.
Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the male gaze to describe how women are typically represented through a heterosexual male perspective as either virginally innocent or sexually active. Media often objectifies women to cater to the wants of most male audiences. Music videos in particular use exaggerated depictions of beautiful women to sell products by attracting male attention. Mulvey also suggests that the act of gazing gives the audience a sense of power over the subject.
An auxiliary product is a complimentary product like a poster or magazine article that promotes an artist's main product like an album. These auxiliary products are important for generating additional revenue and promoting the artist's brand to fans who want to show their support. The document examines album covers and a t-shirt from singer Taylor Swift's albums. It finds synergy between the products by using consistent title styling and imagery representing the country music genre. Emotions conveyed through facial expressions and cover designs are also noted as important in connecting with audiences. In conclusion, the research on these auxiliary products will inform the creation of a music video and packaging to accompany the author's own album.
Pop music videos focus on the artist and use changing backgrounds, green screens, and post-production effects. They tend to have bright colors and many camera shots/close-ups. Indie/rock videos are often black-and-white with dark locations and fast pacing to match the music. They use minimal effects and makeup for an edgy look. Hip hop videos feature lavish street parties with gangster clothing and promote brands/wealth. Country videos portray past times with orange/rose tones, guitars, and horses to reference the genre's origins.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document discusses the process of creating a magazine. It begins by outlining how the creator used conventions from similar magazines like We Love Pop and Top of the Pops as inspiration, while also trying to challenge some conventions. Details are provided on specific design choices for the magazine cover, layout, and content that both follow and challenge industry conventions. Throughout the document, the creator reflects on targeting their magazine at a slightly older demographic of 12-18 year olds and focusing on female artists. The goal was to create a magazine that would appeal to mainstream audiences while putting a new spin on standard magazine conventions.
The document discusses how the creator of a new magazine used conventions from similar magazines like We Love Pop and Top of the Pops as inspiration, but also challenged some conventions. The creator analyzed what elements the magazines had in common and experimented with things like title design, image placement, backgrounds, and text formatting to make the new magazine stand out while still looking professional. The goal was to attract the target teenage audience and compete with other magazines in the genre.
The document summarizes the steps taken to prepare images for inclusion in a magazine. It describes editing background images to make them less bright and visible. It then details editing a main image by removing its background using the magic wand and eraser tools to create a transparent effect. Finally, it discusses editing additional images for a double page spread by adjusting brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation and adding a noise effect to one image. The end goal is to produce final images suitable for placement in the magazine layout.

The author removed colored boxes from their magazine to highlight text, made an image off-center and larger by rearranging other magazine elements, received feedback to change text to red or green to improve the color scheme, tried different fonts for the main headline until finding one that made the text stand out sufficiently, and colored in text from a previous slide to indicate the font chosen for the final product.
The document describes modifying a bright background image for a magazine cover by using image editing software to decrease the background's intensity, making it less distracting. This was done by increasing the background image's transparency so the other magazine elements would stand out more clearly. Additional small circle images were then overlaid on the adjusted background to create a repeated pattern visible under the magazine's text and fonts.
The document outlines the stages the author went through to prepare an image for a magazine, including using the magic wand tool to remove most of the background, then erasing remaining bits to give a clean image, resulting in the final version used in the magazine.

I have formatted the interview page in several ways. In the first version, I placed the title at the top of the screen with the interview spanning both sides to maximize space usage. I included an image in the center to draw focus to the subject of the interview. In the second version, I placed the title and interview on one side with a larger artist image on the facing page to allow for potential poster use. However, I decided not to use this format as it appears less professional than spanning both pages.
I have formatted the interview page in several ways. In the first layout, I placed the interview title at the top of the page to identify it, and included the interview text on both sides to maximize space usage. I centered the featured artist's image in between to draw focus and indicate the topic. However, in the second layout I placed the title at the top and interview on just one side to allow a larger artist image on the next page and give the appearance of a more extensive interview. Ultimately, I chose not to use this second design because it seemed less professional and fitting for the magazine genre.
This document discusses how the author has clearly represented their work in producing a music magazine. They have included all key elements to represent their indie/rock genre magazine and have implemented techniques from current market magazines that fit this genre.
I want to create images using effects like saturation and contrast in Fireworks to produce an image appropriate for publication. My images need to be bright and detailed to accurately convey the indie/rock theme and my interpretation. My shot will be a medium/close up of a male band member looking away from the camera to denote that he is proud of his success, looking cool, calm and collected with key features that give the target audience a feeling to remain with them.
