Q1 – in what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and...
The document discusses the conventions used in real media products and how the student's media product compares. It analyzes conventions like technical elements, symbols, and written codes seen in music magazines like Mixmag and Vibe. These informed the design of the student's house music magazine, including a white background, rule of thirds composition, and featuring an artist from the main article on the cover. However, the student's magazine does not challenge conventions since it is filling a gap as the first magazine focused on house music. Sticking to familiar conventions makes the new magazine safely stand out without seeming too different.
Question 1
This document summarizes how the media product, a magazine called "Haste", uses and develops conventions of real magazines. It discusses design elements like the cover, contents page, and double page spread that match conventions. Specific conventions that are used include having a masthead, issue number, columns, images, quotes, headlines, and ads. Some conventions are challenged, like having more space on the contents page. Overall, the magazine draws from conventions of real indie music magazines in its format, layout, and sections.
Q1.
The document discusses how the media product, a music magazine, both uses conventions of real music magazines as well as challenges some conventions. It discusses how the magazine's title, masthead, cover layout, contents page, and double-page spread both follow conventions such as positioning and fonts, as well as make some unconventional changes such as image placement and using symbols instead of letters. The goal is to create a modern, unique magazine while still relating to consumers' expectations of magazine conventions.

3) While borrowing existing conventions, some unique design choices were made as well, such as taking up the full double page spread with the main image
QUESTION 1
The document discusses how the student's media product uses and challenges conventions of real music magazines. They used continuity of color scheme and branding across the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. Fonts and placements of elements like the masthead and images follow conventions. The student was inspired by magazines like Vibe and XXL, challenging conventions by personalizing elements like the barcode while maintaining similarities. Key conventions like columns, features lists, drop caps, and logos were included to look professional and familiar to audiences.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses the front cover, contents page, and double page spread from the author's media product. For the front cover, conventions like the masthead, barcode, featured contents, slogan, and main image were used to create the impression of a real magazine. For the contents page, conventions like the masthead, clear page numbers, and a main image were included, though only one large image was used instead of multiple small ones. For the double page spread, inspiration was drawn from artist-specific examples, with one side featuring text in columns and the other side having multiple images of the artist, challenging some conventions but still including elements like the main headline.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Front cover conventions
- 1. FOLLOWING AND CHALLENGING CONVENTIONS: INSPIRATION FROM EXISTING PRODUCTS FRONT COVERS
- 2. MASTHEADS When creating my masthead I took inspiration from existing products. To the right is my own masthead and three others from existing music magazines NME, Q and Billboard. I made my masthead conventional by using some of the features that the existing mastheads use: • I chose to use one word – Strings – as these mastheads are all one word or a few letters and thus memorable • I only used one colour because the existing mastheads only use a maximum of three, excluding Billboard who deliberately break that convention to be unique • I placed my masthead at the top of the magazine like all three other mastheads and to the left like Q and NME. I have also chosen to challenge conventions here by placing my issue date within my masthead. Although this is not typical of a magazine, I think it adds to the aesthetic of my cover and suits the more alternative/indie genre.
- 3. FEATURE STORIES I also took inspiration from existing magazines when creating and positioning my feature stories. I followed the convention of placing them down the sides of the cover and using a variety of fonts and colours as demonstrated here by my own product and three other magazines – Kerrang!, Q and Vibe. The magazines use font and colour to highlight certain stories and distinguish between different articles so I attempted to replicate this in order to be conventional. I also included a list of bands inside which is another convention that Q have made use of here.
- 4. MAIN STORIES Conventionally main stories are advertised on front covers in a large font using the artists name or a pull quote. In these examples from Top of the Pops, Q, NME, Vibe and Billboard we can see this convention being followed successfully. I have used this convention myself in my own product, advertising my main story in a large font and including a pull quote from the article inside to encourage potential customers to purchase the magazine. This makes it obvious which feature story is my main one, and ensures that the article looks interesting and enjoyable to read. By including the artist name I have also highlighted the main selling point of the product.
- 5. FOOTERS Although not every magazine front cover includes a footer, it is still a convention that I wanted to follow in my own product. The examples here from Kerrang!, Q and NME demonstrate how footers at the very bottom of the cover are used to advertise more feature stories or just list artists that are inside. I used mine to advertise more feature stories and also include a second plug that would hopefully attract more readers to my product. Footers are conventionally a block colour that follows the magazine’s colour scheme which is what I have opted for, or transparent to show more of the main image. I made it purple so that it would stand out on the page more.
- 6. BARCODES Barcodes are a necessary convention of magazines but not a selling point and so are typically placed in a bottom corner where they are not as noticeable. I followed this convention, placing mine in the bottom right corner. As you can see from these examples from NME, Billboard and Kerrang!, magazines often combine other features with the barcode and print them together – things such as web addresses, issue date and price. I chose to place my price next to the barcode because it is similar to the barcode in that it needs to be on the cover but doesn’t add anything to the aesthetic so can be placed in a position that isn’t as prominent. This follows conventions.
- 7. MAIN IMAGES Main images are conventionally framed as midshots and depict one artist as shown on these covers from Billboard, Q, and Vibe. I used an image framed as a midshot on my own product in order to follow conventions. However I challenged conventions by using two models as a girl group duo. This is because I wanted to break conventions slightly in order to appear original and appeal to a readership who are more attracted to an alternative style of music. This isn’t a radical breaking of conventions though, because the main image is a huge part of the cover and I didn’t want to make it too unconventional at the risk of it looking unprofessional and not selling.
- 8. CORNERS & PLUGS Corners are a convention of magazines but do not appear in many music-specific magazines. They are usually used to advertise a plug or an exclusive story. Plugs are another convention that most, if not all, magazines use to attract readers. I have chosen to include a plug within a corner in order to really make the plug stand out and to follow conventions. These examples are from magazines that aren’t necessarily music orientated, just to demonstrate how the industry uses them in general; the images are from Vogue, Elle and Q. I think using a corner that follows my product’s colour scheme has helped improve the overall look of the front cover and also helped to attract readers.
