The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a fashion spread in Photoshop, including importing an image, resizing and positioning it, and adding costume information text. Key steps are opening Photoshop and creating a new document, importing an image file and copying it to the document, using the Free Transform tool to resize the image, and selecting the Horizontal Type Tool to add text with formatting.
How to Create a Book Cover with Adobe InDesignJasmine Dy
Adobe InDesign is a highly-efficient software that can be used for various kinds of print products. It’s popular for making newspaper and magazine layouts so easy to create beautifully if you have an eye for good design and aesthetics. Apart from that you can also use it for posters and book covers, which I used it for in this tutorial.
This is a step-by-step account of how to create your book’s front cover for Kindle and promotional use, and whole cover complete with the spine and back cover.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1
Open InDesign and go to File>New>Document or click the Create New File icon on the welcome screen. Set the settings shown here (these are all default settings except you’ll set it to 4 pages and click “facing pages”).
Step 2
Let’s set up the master pages. That way we can add a header and page numbers automatically. Make sure your “Pages” window is open from the Window Menu. DOUBLE-Click on the A-Master icon on the top of the Pages pull-out palette to work in the master pages shown here in yellow).
Step 3
In the lower-left hand corner of the left master page, click-and-drag with the Text tool to drag out a text box for the page number.
Step 4
Go to Type>Insert Special Character> Markers>Current Page Number.
Step 5
This will insert an automated page number so you don’t have to number each page. Change the size (and style if you want) of the font to an appropriate one for your publication.
[Note: Additionally, you could also place text (like the word 'page' or '#' symbol) in front of the page number and it would be continued throughout all pages using the master page template.]
Step 6
Select the Selection tool (black arrow). Hold down Option and click-and-drag the text box that has the automatic page number in it over to the right page to create another instance of the Auto Page Number. I placed the text box on the right side page on the lower right hand corner.
Step 7
If you put the text boxes for the page numbers in the same locations as I chose to, it should look something like this.
Step 8
Page numbers are not the only objects to put onto the master pages. And all the objects don’t have to be automatically updated objects, either. You can add photos, text, or shapes and they’ll be on every page. For this tutorial, add just a simple title at the top of each page by clicking-and-dragging out a text box along the top.
Step 9
Open the Paragraph palette under Window>Type & Tables>Paragraph and click the center or justify icon to center the text after highlighting it. Up in the Control options menu, change the tracking to 600 to increase the spacing of the text to spread out the title. The Tracking setting icon is an uppercase AV with directional arrows underneath it.
Step 10
Open Adobe Illustrator, create a New Document and go to File>Place to place the japanese_flag.gif file located in the downloadable support files for this tutorial (see Module 3 on our website).
Step 11
After clicking on the placed file with a Selection tool, open the Image Trace Control palette (under Window) to view the options for live tracing. Make sure the settings are set to the ones shown here; pretty much a basic black and white trace.
Step 12 Select Trace and then Go to the OBJECT menu and Expand (object+fill) to apply the trace to the selected artwork.
Step 13 Next, Deselect the image. Then, ...

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.

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.

Fashion spread 2
1. When Photoshop is opened,
the first thing to do is to find
the word “File” at the top of the
computer screen and when
highlighted then click on “New”.
A box will then appear. The
Document Type must be
International Paper, if the
Document Type does not say
International Paper but
something else it can be
changed by clicking a visible
arrow facing downwards which
then shows the different
Document Types available. It is
at this moment when you click
on International Paper, when
this is done click OK.
3. To get the image that is going to
be used for my second Fashion
Spread for “Teen Rulez!” go to
the top of the screen (shown in
the previous slideshow) and
find the word “File” and when
highlighted then click on
“Open”. After this find the
image and open it. It should
then should appear in a new
tab in Photoshop.
4. To get the image onto the
Fashion Spread 2 tab highlight
the whole image from
whichever corner using the
Rectangular Marquee Tool
(which can be seen highlighted)
with the left side of the mouse.
When this is done go to the top
of the page, find the word
“Edit” and when highlighted
then click on “Copy”.
5. When back on the Fashion
Spread 2 tab go to the top of
the screen, find the word “Edit”
and when highlighted click on
“Paste”. After this the image
copied should appear on the
screen.
6. To make the image smaller
without spreading it start by
going to the top of the screen
finding the word “Edit” and
when highlighted click on “Free
Transform”. After this the image
would look like this. Make sure
that the image layer (Layer 1) is
highlighted.
7. To make more room move the
image upwards and to the right
using the left side of the
mouse, this will make the
model being in the centre of
the second Fashion Spread.
8. Click the “Enter” key to make
the whole image visible and to
confirm the changes to the
image.
9. The next and final part of
creating the second Fashion
Spread for “Teen Rulez!” is
creating the Costume
Information for the second
Fashion Spread. Firstly, select
the Horizontal Type Tool and
click and drag a box where the
Costume Information will be
typed up.
10. Type the Costume Information
in your chosen colour, choice of
font and size of the font, in this
case I am using the colour
Black, the font size is 12 pt and
the chosen front is Viner Hand
ITC. The image on the left
shows the finished second
Fashion Spread for “Teen
Rulez!”
11. I made one adjustment to the
second Fashion Spread to
improve it. I moved the
Clothing Information further
down near the trousers my
model is wearing. The image on
the left shows the finished
second Fashion Spread for
“Teen Rulez!”
