The document provides an analysis of the design elements of a magazine cover and interior pages, likely for a music magazine. It summarizes the colour scheme, photography, writing style, fonts, and text to picture ratios used and how they appeal to the target audience of older rock music fans. The cover uses red, white, and black colours and a photo of a woman dressed in a rock style to represent the magazine's content. Interior pages continue the serious yet rock style through their layouts, photos from concerts, and use of fonts recalling older rock magazines.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

5. Colour Scheme – The colour scheme has followed on from the cover, this often happens as it shows
continuity and doesn’t confuse the reader and it lets them know that the magazine is for them. It also
keeps it’s serious. It keeps the magazine simple, this colour scheme will be seen all the way through the
magazine.

6. Overall look – The contents is very different form the front cover which is odd as they normally continue
the look on. The way it is laid out looks very structured and neat as it did on the cover. This is appropriate to
their target audience. Some of the colours and text is similar.

8. Colour scheme – The black and white continue on this page but the red doesn’t. This could be because
Sean Penn is an actor not a musician. The blue from the pool as replaced the red which makes a
difference, it also makes the black and white stand out. Blue gives us a sense of clam and could suggest a
laid back interview.
Photography – They have
used a full length shot of
Sean. A location has been
used to shoot this
image, this makes the image
interesting. Again it shows
that he isn’t a musician, as

at the same time this fits in
well with the whole image.
The image stands out Writing style – It is like they are telling a fairy tale story. “One afternoon…” Is
because of the turquoise their way of saying once upon a time. The “O” is large just like is would be in
water, which doesn’t fit in books. The width of the text is similar to the width in a book. It is different as in
with the black and most interviews as the questions they asked would be there written in a bold text

pages, making it catch your interview more sophisticated, making the reading level higher for its correct
attention. target audience.
9. Overall look – It looks abandoned, lonely, easy, relaxed and careless, this could say something about
the kind of life he lives or kind of person he is. It could also tell us what kind of a interview it is. They have
repeated the colours black and white on both pages and haven’t put any colour on the page with the text
so the focus is on the image. The black lines are also repeated on both pages making it different and
interesting.
Text/picture ratio – The
image is what takes up most
of the page and with the
lack of writing on the over
side of the page it makes
the image stand out even
more and is what you focus
on. The large image shows
that he is the main focus of
the interview. Even though
the magazines target
audience is upper class and
older they haven’t written
much which they make up
for by the way it is written.
Fonts – The fonts are the ones that have been used all the way through the
magazine. They have the same rock and roll look that ties in with a newspaper look
too. The fonts are sophisticated which is appropriate for their target audience.
