I used Adobe Photoshop instead of InDesign to edit photos for a magazine advertisement because I have more experience with Photoshop from media classes. The photo chosen shows the back of an artist from a mid-shot angle. I first removed unnecessary bits from the photo using the spot healing brush tool, which removes spots without leaving blemishes. I then applied a black and white effect and felt it merged well with the DVD cover design, creating consistency across pieces. I used the same font as the DVD cover and experimented with layouts and colors before deciding on orange text for a professional look.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

2. I decided to use Adobe Photoshop instead of Adobe Indesign to edit the photos as I have had more practice with the
software as I have used it through media GCSE and AS. The photo we chose to use for the magazine advert is a mid
shot showing the back of the artist. Throughout recording and planning I always had this layout in my head so I had the
photographer to take this specific angled photo. I first started editing the photo by again removing any unnecessary
bits and pieces such as the spots.
3. The most useful tool to me on Photoshop has got to be the spot healing brush tool. I
have used it in both AS and A2 media and has helped all my media products have a more
professional look. As you can see above it works amazingly well, as it removes the spot
and also does not leave behind any blemishes or discolouring.
4. At first I wasn't too sure about applying the black & white effect on the photo, but after completing the
DVD cover and seeing how effective it is and how it merges well I decide to apply it to this photo. This also
shows a link between the DVD cover and the magazine advertisement. As again, this photo did not require
any work as myself and team believe that it already has the professional appearance.
5. I also decided to use the same font as the DVD cover as it again shows a link between the two. I then
placed the photo and text in layout that is shown in my planning. I did experiment with the colour of the
‘no regrets’ but orange seemed to be the most effective and provided a more professional look.
6. I then added the front cover off the DVD cover but decided to cut off the lower half as it gives it more
room. I also had to but an orange border around the DVD cover as the both backgrounds merged
together as they are the same colour so I thought it would help separate them but it also gives of a
creative look.
7. After adding a few little extras such as the page number, magazine logo and ratings & quotes from famous
music industries, it finally looks complete. By looking at the photo above I believe that the use of orange on
certain pieces of the advertisement helps it stand out and gives a vibrant effect.
