Download the support files first from Mod 3 Guidelines!
Begin…
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
