This document discusses various design principles including signal to noise, going visual, empty space, rule of thirds, contrast, consistency, and placement. It provides examples of each principle and asks the reader to guess which principle a given example demonstrates. It also discusses detecting deception and observing nonverbal communication cues. Overall, the document focuses on teaching visual design and communication principles.
Why are most lectures boring compared to talks we have with our friends over coffee or dinner? Answer: stories.
What elements does a story need in order to become sticky? What is a structure of a good story?
Can this work for any subject?

Why would you care about nonverbal communication? Our words bear only 11% of the information we send or receive while communicating. Rest is nonverbal.

Trials and Tribulations of a First Year iGEM TeamMorgan Taschuk
What do you do when team members disappear, deadlines are flying by, and the Jamboree is only two days away? Newcastle University answered these questions when they formed an iGEM team for the first time in 2008. The team was composed of six students, three instructors and many advisors, all from different backgrounds and with differing motivations in joining the team. Everyone was excited about our project, but a summer of hard work only produced a proof of concept. In this presentation, I will discuss the lessons we learned and how we managed to pull everything together in the end to win a Gold medal at the Jamboree.
Effective Presenting with ‘Think, Feel, Do!’Ray Poynter
Effective research needs to result in outcomes, and changes that are beneficial to the organisation commissioning the research.
The ability of the research to help bring about change depends on how it is communicated. In many cases, the only part of the research that has any impact or visibility is the presentation, i.e. the actual presentation and any report / ‘leave behind’/ or 'take-aways'.
In this webinar, Ray Poynter, focuses on how to use the ‘Think, Feel, Do!’ approach to create effective communications, i.e. communications that result in actions.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

11. Detecting Deception
Hard (50% chance you will get it right)
General principle is to notice inconsistencies
Between words and tells (pacifiers)
(Sudden) Changes in behavior – stress
„Guideline”
First establish baseline & comfort
Notice inconsistencies
Ask, pause and observe
Someone might just have poor communication skills
Be careful not to jump to conclusions!

20. 1. Be Active Observer
O It takes time and practice
O Look at people communicating (meetings,
social events, conference presentations?!?)
OWe understand a lot of
this „stuff” as „feeling”
(intuition?)
O Actively notice the „stuff”

23. WHY ARE LADYBUGS CONSIDERED
GOOD LUCK?
• While other insects may pose a threat to humans, animals and crops
alike, ladybugs are harmless -- and even better, they're beneficial!
• That's why so many cultures over the centuries have cherished
ladybugs, believing them to bring good luck.
• Farmers encourage ladybug
populations in their fields because
ladybugs protect crops from insects,
especially from aphids and other sap
feeders who can do great damage.
• Having a ladybug land on you can be a
magical moment.
50. The Guidelines Rules!
1. Observe and observe and
observe actively!!!
2. Context matters, so observe in
context!
3. Learn universal tells (aka the
„stuff”)
4. Observe unique tells (aka the
„stuff”)
5. When communicating,
establish a baseline first

• Not just logic but also EMPATHY
• Not just seriousness but also PLAY
• Not just accumulation but also MEANING

The "rule of thirds" is a simplified version of the golden mean. The rule of thirds is a basic technique that photographers learn to frame their shots. Subjects placed exactly in the middle can often make for an uninteresting photo. The golden mean would be wonderful to apply when taking snaps, but obviously this is not practical. But a viewfinder can be divided by lines — real or just imagined — so that you have four intersecting lines or crossing points and 9 rectangles that resemble a tic-tac-toe board. These four crossing points (also called power points, if you can believe it) are areas you might place your main subject, rather than in the center.
There is a belief, and some research to back it up, that we are hardwired to naturally be drawn to images that have proportions approaching the golden mean, just as we are often drawn to many things in the natural environment — or even to a particular "good-looking face" — with golden-mean like proportions.

When Vijay opened his store he put up a sign that said "We Sell Fresh Fish Here." His father stopped by and said that the word "We" suggests an emphasis on the seller rather than the customer, and is really not needed. So the sign was changed to "Fresh Fish Sold Here." His brother came by and suggested that the word "here" could be done away with -- it was superfluous. doing?" Later, his neighbor stopped by to congratulate him. Then he mentioned that all passers-by could easily tell that the fish was really fresh. Mentioning the word fresh actually made it sound defensive as though there was room for doubt about the freshness. Now the sign just read: "FISH." As Vijay was walking back to his shop after a break he noticed that one could identify the fish from its smell from very far, at a distance from which one could barely read the sign. He knew there was no need for the word "FISH."
