Specifically, it aims to create synergy across the materials by using consistent visual elements like black and white color schemes, natural lighting, and locations. It also establishes intertextual references to Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray to give the music video deeper literary meaning for audiences familiar with the novel. However, promoting through digital platforms could encourage piracy that reduces CD sales, so the band may need to partner with larger companies to survive as an independent act.

This brief outlines the requirements for an advanced media portfolio coursework assignment. Students must produce a media portfolio including a music promo video and accompanying print materials. They must also maintain a blog documenting their research, planning, and production process. Finally, students must evaluate their project in a PowerPoint presentation addressing how their work used or challenged real media conventions, the effectiveness of combining materials, lessons from audience feedback, and their use of technology.
A2 advanced brief
This brief outlines an assignment for an advanced media portfolio course. Students will produce:
1) A media portfolio including a music promo video, album release materials, and magazine advertisement.
2) An ongoing blog documenting research, planning, production paperwork, and time management.
3) A PowerPoint presentation evaluating how their media product uses or challenges conventions, the effectiveness of included materials, audience feedback, and their use of technology. The purpose is to assess students' planning, technical, and evaluation skills through an individual or group media project.
Front cover design 2
The document describes the process of designing a masthead for a magazine targeted towards 16-25 year old females interested in indie, rock, and rock-pop music. The designer chose a ragged font to fit the rock genre. They experimented with adding weight, color, drop shadows, and a 3D effect to make the masthead more visible and appealing while still fitting the conventions of the target genre. The final masthead features black text with a white border and red drop shadow.
Questionnaire media
The document contains questions asking for feedback on different elements of a magazine, including the cover, contents page, double page spread, and an advertisement. It asks about the layout, imagery, text, and whether anything would be changed for each of these sections to understand the reader's opinions and how to potentially improve the magazine overall.
Construction of images
This document describes Rathina Gunapalan's process for constructing images for a magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread. Some key steps included cropping photos to the magazine's size specifications in Photoshop, laying out pages in InDesign including mastheads and cover lines, and following conventions like using bold fonts and large page numbers. Images were edited by changing backgrounds or cutting out elements to combine into an advertisement design.
Preliminary exercise
This document provides an analysis and summary of the design elements of a magazine cover and contents page. It identifies key elements such as the masthead, cover lines, images, use of font sizes and colors. Specific techniques are examined like the placement of images and text to create balance and guide the reader through the materials in an organized manner. Design choices are assessed for how they would attract readers and highlight important information.
Front cover design
The document discusses planning the front cover design for a magazine targeting 16-25 year old females interested in indie, rock, and rock-pop music. It describes selecting a font called "Viver Hand Itc" that seemed ragged and disorderly fitting the rock genre. It then details experiments with adding color, drop shadows, and 3D effects to the masthead to make it more visible and appealing while still fitting the conventions of the rock genre.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
