Twitter session at Kern on effective layouts inspired Geeta Bose to conduct and design this presentation.
The key learning from the Twitter session:
1. IDs must have skills in visualizing information.
2. Visual design skills mean basic understanding of the design laws and principles.
3. Graphic designers should also understand instructional design principles to add value to visual design.
4. Good IDs are like architects. Like architects they must know about building materials, where to use them etc along with creating a detailed blueprint.
4. Good IDs have better productivity
5. Good IDs must understand Gestalt’s Laws, Color Theory, Basic Typography, Laws of Composition, & Visual Hierarchy.
6. Good IDs must understand Typography: Readability, Legibility, Para Alignment, Leading, Indents, Widow & Orphans, Type Selection.
7. They must understand what is Affordance along with Visual Composition: Point and range of view, rhythm, harmony, balance, and contrast

The typography by Fady El-Masry
Typography (from the Greek words τύπος (typos) = form and γραφή
(graphe) = writing) is the art and technique of arranging type in order to make
language visible. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces,
point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between
groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters
(kerning). Type design is a closely related craft, which some consider distinct
and others a part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces,
and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. In modern
times, typography has been put into motion — in film, television and online
broadcasts — to add emotion to mass communication.
Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic
designers, art directors, comic book artists, graffiti artists, clerical workers,
and anyone else who arranges type for a product. Until the Digital Age,
typography was a specialized occupation. Digitization opened up typography
to new generations of visual designers and lay users, and it has been said that
“typography is now something everybody does.
Initially presented during the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin, this presentation takes typography beyond the surface layer. Structure, Process, Macro and Micro typography are all covered in detail to help you improve the typographic quality on your site, service or product.
We heart it! Evoking emotion through typographyChiara Aliotta
Starting from the point of view of Donald Norman, author of the book Emotional Design, and from the most recent book of Aaron Walter, Designing for Emotion, this presentation will explain how to use typography to trigger emotion and engage your website visitors.
Typography is an essential element in graphic design and communication. Usually it is used to “carry” information so it must have some common-sense characteristics such as high legibility and readability, scalability and appropriateness.
But there is yet another level to explore, where typography can play a big role: evoking and triggering emotions.
We all know about emotions because we experience them every day. Emotions influence the way we make decisions, evaluate risks, solve problems and categorize information.
In advertising and product design, emotions are a really well-known subject. In web design, emotional design has just recently made its way to usability.
After giving you 3 reasons to embrace emotional design, you will learn how to use typography to:
1. Avoid negative experiences with typography that require more attention and effort from users, which leads to unnecessary frustration and dangerous aversion of your site.
2. Create a positive experience and enhance user performance with your website, so that times flies faster!
3. Add personality and character to your website using typography for a more creative and unique experience.
4. Draw attention to specific areas of your site by creating visually appealing layouts and harmony.
5. Be clear and consistent for a more effective message.
6. And finally, encourage people to share their experiences and create long-lasting relationships with users.
All of these subjects will be presented in a very easy and engaging way, with practical examples and tools to solidify the concepts. It is not necessary to have any specific knowledge about design and typography (some basic terms will be introduced during the presentation).
Recommended for web designers, graphic designers and UX designers.
It may be something we often overlook, but typography plays an essential part in the presentation process. Typography can change the entire look and feel of a presentation. Big Fish introduces the five way typography is powerful in your presentation.

Basic Elements & Principals for Create Best Graphic Design ServicesHelpful Insight
Whether your task is to design a sales brochure, display ad, or newsletter, the purpose is the same: to communicate a message to an audience and produce a desired response. Put simply, the design you develop is not just about appearance—it is also about the performance of the target audience. Thus, good design is measured equally by form and function.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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. What is Graphic Design?
The process and art of combining text and graphics to
communicate an effective message in the design of logos,
graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any
other type of visual communication.
3. 1
Before You Begin to Design
• TARGET AUDIENCE
– Decide Who Your Audience is. The more you know about
your audience, the better equipped you are to attract their
attention and communicate your message. Knowing who the
audience is will help you determine the best format in which
to communicate with them.
4. 2
Before You Begin to Design
• CONTENT
– What do you want to convey? It helps to know exactly what
words you want to use (or have to use) on the page to
convey your message, because the amount of words and
the message will affect how you design your layout.
Be ready to edit or cut text.
5. 3
Before You Begin to Design
• IMAGE AREA
– Consider the size, shape, and function of your layout.
– Draw a mock-up showing where artwork, photos, etc should
be placed relative to copy.
7. Simplicity
• KISS
– Have a good reason for everything you add,
and take away anything that you don’t need
– Keep headlines and lead paragraphs short
• Have a purpose for everything - when in doubt, leave it out
• Stick to three or fewer fonts in a layout
• Contrast - Balance - Alignment - Repetition - Flow
8. • Contrast
– The principle of contrast states that visual elements on a page should look
distinctly different from one another. It is used to add visual variety to
layouts and keep everything on the page from looking alike.
• Balance
– The principle of balance is concerned with the distribution of visual
elements on a page in order to achieve a pleasing and clear layout
• Alignment
– is the visual connection among words, graphics, images, shapes, and lines
on a page when their edges or axes line up with each other.
9. • Repetition
– The principle that states repeating lines, shapes, images, colors,
textures, and other visual elements within a page helps establish
a unified cohesive design.
• Flow
– The visual and verbal path of movement that a viewer’s eye
follows through a page or sequence of pages. Effective use can
control the way the viewer’s eye scans through the design.
10. Emphasis
• The most important element on the page should be the
most prominent
• Emphasis Techniques:
• Make it the biggest
• Make it the boldest
• Placing the element in a shape that is
different from others on the page
• Making it full intensity when
everything else is faded
• Adding a border around the element
• Changing its color so it is different
• Surrounding the element with lots of
white space
• Tilting it at an angle when other
elements are horizontal
11. White Space
• Allows the eye to “rest”
• Makes type easier and faster to read
• Resist the urge to fill entire space
with words, pictures, charts and
graphics
• Avoid “gray” pages
• White space creates emphasis
12. White Space cont.
• White space makes pages more attractive and easier to read
by providing a resting space for the reader's eyes and creating
empty/filled contrast with the text on the page.
Gray pages
• Gray pages are the result of too much type, not enough white
space and a lack of typographic contrast between each element
of page architecture. Readers should be able to glance at a
page and easily identify headlines, subheads, body copy and
captions.
13. Photographs
• Resolution - low vs. high
– ppi (display) and dpi (printer)
• Size - too big or too small
• Cropping – when and how
• Photo-editing programs (Paint)
14. Logos
• Less is more
– Convey the idea as simply as
possible. Few words and colors.
– Create logos in a vector
program – not Paint,
PowerPoint or Publisher.
– Here are some examples:
15. Top 7 Graphic Design Don’ts
1. Use too many different fonts in one design
2. Use every color in the rainbow just because you can
3. Put a box around everything
4. Center everything on the page
16. 5.Forget white space is your friend – avoid “gray pages”
6.Use fonts that are too small – 5, 6, 7 point
7.Rely on the computer for everything – it is only a tool
Top 7 Graphic Design Don’ts
17. Right and wrong do not exist in
graphic design. There is only effective
and non-effective communication.

Emphasis.
The principle of design that states that the most important element on the pages should be the most prominent, the second most important element should be the second most prominent, and so on.
PPI (pixels per inch) is the number of pixels displayed in an image. A digital image is composed of samples that your screen displays in pixels. The PPI is the display resolution not the image resolution.
DPI (dots per inch) is a measure of the resolution of a printer. It properly refers to the dots of ink or toner used by an imagesetter, laser printer, or other printing device to print your text and graphics. In general, the more dots, the better and sharper the image. DPI is printer resolution.
LPI (lines per inch) refers to the way printers reproduce images, simulating continuous tone images by printing lines of halftone spots. The number of lines per inch is the LPI, sometimes also called line frequency. You can think of LPI as the halftone resolution.
how a picture looks on the screen can be quite different than how it prints
Widows and orphans
Widows. Sentences beginning new paragraphs placed at the bottom of a column or page. When a new paragraph begins, keep at least two--preferably three--lines together.
Orphans. Sentence fragments or portions of hyphenated words isolated at the top of a new column or page.
Justified type does not offer enough opportunities for words to be properly spaced. As a result, lines containing a few long words are characterized by huge gaps between words and lines containing several short words exhibit extremely tight word spacing.
Narrow columns of justified text are also characterized by excessive hyphenation.
