The document discusses the design choices made in creating magazine covers, contents pages, and article spreads. For the cover, bright colors like red and yellow were used along with a white background to attract attention. Bold fonts were utilized for the masthead and cover lines. Slang language and different formatting were employed to engage the target audience. On the contents page, images and bold/colored text stand out against the background. Article spreads use fonts, headings, images and text boxes in red, black, and yellow against a sandy background to draw the eye and separate elements visually. Questions and answers are formatted differently to engage the reader.

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.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
2. I attracted the audience by using bright
vibrant colours such as red and yellow.
Also the white background enhances all
features, especially the image and my
models skin complexion. All font used is
bold such as my masthead which I chose
to be yellow because it stood out against
the background, therefore it would grab the
audiences attention. I chose to have red
and white and the main colour theme for
cover lines because the hat colour (red)
my model is wearing in the image stands
out in the white background, this shows
that the image relates to my front cover. I
also constructed my cover lines differently
such as “Urban Youth Speak” to grab the
audiences attention as being different
persuading them to buy the magazine to
read that story. I used slang language such
as “Dope” on my front cover to relate to my
target audience genre. For future reference
I could have put the price on the magazine
because in my questionnaire many people
said that they would pay £2-£4 for the
magazine which is a valuable price.
3. The first thing that may attract the
audience on the contents page would be
the image, the model dominates the whole
shot and shows a lot of clothing being
worn. The hand has a blur effect on also
which would show the sign being pulled is
inappropriate addressing the target
audience. The colour scheme is the same
as the front cover with a hint of black. The
„Contents‟ title is bold and white which
makes it stand out in the black
background. My contents page addresses
the target audience using common
conventions such as index/news section
having the page numbers stand out more
than the actual article story being bold and
yellow over the red. The subscription box
contains bold font with different sized and
coloured words which will attract the
audience to look into the magazine to find
how to subscribe.
4. My double page spread
attracts the audience
simply through the fonts
and headings: The
sub-headings are a black
bold font highlighted in red.
The main image fills up
half of the first page and
being in a black & white
effect it separates itself
from the page colour
scheme so it is noticeable
and sends the message of
there being a huge history
behind Hip-Hop. I chose to
have my background
colour as a sandy yellow to
help enhance the red font
and text boxes, which are
also enhanced even more
by having thick black
borders to grab the readers
attention. The quote
underneath the image is
I have chose for the red colours to be quite vibrant because the body text is a small big and bold to attract the
font and therefore can‟t stand out to the reader alone. To address the reader I reader but also address
created a question answer article on the second page to make the reader feel closer them that it is relating to
to the music artists. The questions are in a bold italic font whereas the answers have the image sending a
no effect on them, this is to grab the readers attention to read the questions first positive message. The
then read on to the answer. Both pages are set out in rule of thirds layout with the introduction to the article is
body text being separated by guide lines to make it easier for the reader to follow a different colour to the
and not make the article look over written so its more interesting to read. actual article to show it is
an introduction.
