The document discusses how the magazine cover, contents page, and double page spread were designed to attract the target audience of indie music fans. Key design elements included a red, black, and white color scheme to stand out; limiting clutter to feel uncluttered as preferred by readers; and including band images and articles that would appeal to the target demographic based on survey responses. Price point and inclusion of a subscription option were also meant to attract readers and convey value. Consistency in branding elements across pages was intended to create a recognizable identity.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

2. Front Cover I attracted the specific audience by using a certain colour scheme with red, black and white which stands out against the plain background so therefore will grab potential buyers attention. At first, I was going to use purples for a female target audience however through research and planning I found that purple wasn’t related to the indie genre. The price of the magazine would also attract the reader at £2.50 as from my questionnaire results I found the majority of people would pay £2-3. Overall, I looked at the ‘indie’ genre and also my results from my questionnaire to attract and address my specific target audience. For the cover lines, I again carried on with the red, white and black theme which created a brand identity. I did this because from my questionnaire results, people said they would prefer darker colours. I have limited cover lines as in my questionnaire the responses said they liked the magazine to feel uncluttered The masthead uses drop shadow which again helps it stand out so therefore attract the readers and word ‘Tune’ is simple, short and specific to music. Although I would rather my masthead to the left, due to the position of my image I chose to put it in the middle which I think helps it stand out even more.
3. Contents I chose to do one dominant image on my contents page and then a less dominant one as in my focus group the majority of people wanted it not very cluttered and relatively simple so it was easy to navigate which will therefore attract my target audience. Similarly I used the band from the front cover again in a smaller photo showing them in a different setting with a different angle, I didn’t chose this as my main image on the contents because I wanted to show the audience there is a lot of content for their money so therefore it will be attractive. I carried on the colour scheme from the front page again to create a brand identity. I made sure the subsections were in bold/a different colour so it was easy to see what articles were in the magazine. Similarly from my research I found people thought it was annoying when there was not a ‘On the Cover’ subsection as that is the whole reason what made them buy the magazine. On the listing of the articles I put the name of bands in bold so it was clear for the audience to see that Tune is an indie magazine so therefore it will stand out to them. Also, I made sure I did other subsections that weren’t just music based so I added fashion articles because in focus group, they wanted a wide range of articles with a musical focus. On the main image, I put a frame around the picture to help it look more attractive and dominant. I added a ‘subscription’ box to my contents page as through my research I found that people thought it was very helpful, also subscription boxes are typical of music magazines.
4. Double Page Spread The use of drop quote in a coloured box against the background attracts the reader and grabs their attention. Also, the use of the colour red suggests passion so therefore fits in with the quote itself. The other quote address the audience by the band seeming confident and suggests that they need to know who they are. The image I chose shows the band in a studio which will address my audience as guitars are related to the indie genre. The image is also in a different angle to the other images so therefore shows variety. The article itself shows the bands road to fame which will attract my audience as that is what I found most people were interested in, in my focus group. The article is very informal so therefore will address my age group and audience. Similarly my focus group said they wanted a article that wasn’t too short as they said they wanted something that seemed like good value for money. I used drop shadow on the text and created a frame to make it stand out on the white background. My double page spread attracts my audience by using a clear yet bold colour scheme which is the same as the front cover and contents.
