The document analyzes existing magazine cover designs and characters. It notes common features like main characters holding props and having side characters/creatures next to them. Some covers use 3D designs while others are 2D. Color palettes and how characters grab attention are aspects the document will include in its own work. Placement of characters and background presentation styles are also noted.
A group project assigned in the Fall of 2007, research into the packaging and design of a new board game was conducted for a client. The target market, men and women between the ages of 25-34 with above average disposable income, were interviewed in four focus group sessions.
In the qualitative research conducted, the 30-somethings generally played board games for various reasons including the positive interaction with people and potentially experiencing the concept of winning. All of those who responded stated they usually played at home in a comfortable setting as an alternative to a night ‘out,’ where alcohol consumption is involved at venues such as restaurants and bars. Four of seven responded they played board games at work and one stated they played Trivial Pursuit at a bar.
Visually, the 30-somethings positively responded to board game boxes that were simple – both in color (preferably a primary color) as opposed to multi-tie-dye colors, as well as cartoon-elements and that briefly introduced the game on the cover. Board game titles were important factors as to initial interest in the product and gave clues as to how ‘fun’ and ‘difficult’ the game would be. Made-up words such as ‘Balderdash’ and ‘Scattergories’ were of particular interest to one participant, who made the point that silly names pose an initial interest in wanting to learn more about the product. In terms of preferences for the artwork and fonts, the style was a huge determination between whether the 30-somethings interviewed would pick up the game – some of the artwork and font, although it is meant for adults, looks childish, which is a major turn-off to those interviewed (Apples to Apples, for example)
It would be optimal to conduct additional focus groups for further qualitative measurement of the general packaging concerns.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The first thing that caught my eye was
the colours in the poster. They stand
out because of how bright they are and
mix together well. The logo always
seems to change slightly depending on
the theme of the magazine which is a
nice little touch to the design. The blue
character in the back is shooting blue
paint at the orange character in the
front, creating a cool 3D effect. The
characters are fun and quirky and I
really like their designs and the way
they’re presented. The way the paint
overlaps across some of the magazines
text is honestly a nice effect, making it
stand out more and focus your
attention on the characters.

The first thing that draws our
attention is the character. The simple
shades of black and white mixed with
red is a nice combination, the red
giving the character more visibility.
The text is large and bold, making it
hard to miss. The character is
standing in a bed of white roses
which really stands out compared to
the characters darker form. It’s
holding a sword and looking straight
at the viewer, gaining our focus. The
style of the game being presented is
simple and clean, the only colour
that stands out being the cape. I like
the design because of the bold
colours and it’s simplicity.

The front cover introduces us to a young girl
who’s attention is focused on the tiny
creatures which surround her. She’s holding
a tall, magical staff and holding onto an
identical necklace. It looks like its set in a
fantasy world due to the props and her
clothing. Her surroundings are natural and
filled with green, brown and grey. The font
has very sharp edges rather than smooth,
which suits the style of this magazine
compared to something more fancy. The
colour palette for the character really fits
and the 3D style compliments it well
because of the extra detail. She’s more
colourful than her surroundings which
makes her stand out more and catch our
attention. The way the background is slightly
blurred also helps keep my attention on the
character.

5. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched products have?
All the characters have some sort of prop with them and are using it
in some way. Two of the posters have the main character and a side
character/creature next to them, two of them also being 3D while the
other is 2D.
• What aspects of the research will you include within your own work?
Some of the colour palettes really stand out to me and can help me when
I create my own poster. The placement of the characters and how they
grab my attention is something I can think about, along with the way the
backgrounds are presented.
