DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD CODES AND CONVENTIONS
This document analyzes common codes and conventions used in double page spreads across different magazines. It discusses techniques like separating images from text with clear divides, using color schemes and pull quotes to link different elements together, including publication details in the footer, and employing drop caps and multiple fonts to enhance readability. Across publications like Billboard, Clash, and NME, it examines trends like placing half the page for images and half for text, keeping layouts neat or informal based on the intended tone, and featuring large prominent images of artists to draw attention.
Evaluation quesion 1
This document analyzes the media product's use of conventions from real magazines.
The cover uses conventions like the masthead, cover line, and barcode. Images follow conventions like mid shots and neutral expressions.
Inside pages use columns, headings, and numbering for easy navigation. The double page spread has a large leading image on one page and text on the other.
Some conventions are challenged, like softer colors replacing the typical red/black scheme. An interview format on the double page spread is also less common.
Overall, the media product draws from real magazine conventions but also develops them in new ways to be unique and appeal to its target audience.
Production log1
This document summarizes the design choices for the front cover of a hip-hop magazine. Key elements include a masthead called "PAR" which is "RAP" spelled backwards, designed in red with a black stroke. The skyline is placed above the masthead in the same font for consistency. The main image shows a rapper recording in a studio. Supporting images and cover lines are placed elsewhere on the page to draw attention to the main image and story. Minor changes from the initial statement of intent include using one main image with one supporting image instead of multiple people and adjusting the barcode location.
Statement of intent
The document discusses the layout and design of a double-page magazine spread. It will use a three column layout familiar to music magazines and include basic conventions like pull quotes and subheadings. Fonts will be limited to two sizes for headings and body text, and one or two fonts. Images will be catchy and related to the target hip hop audience of young women. They will positively portray female artists and trends while representing empowerment themes. The overall design will follow magazine conventions while appealing to the audience.

For the front cover, he has chosen a black and red color scheme and included common features like the barcode and website address. The main image is of a model with red hair to catch viewers' eyes. For the contents page, Eddie has selected a standard layout with an image in the middle and page numbers on the right. He will highlight page numbers and include rhetorical questions to encourage reading the articles. The double-page spread will feature a central image relating to the article and fun fact boxes alongside the text. Eddie aims to contrast serious content with lighter elements.

In this document, the author discusses their media studies evaluation of a music magazine they created. They discuss how their magazine used conventions of real magazines such as coverlines, puffs, and anchorage text. They also challenged some conventions by making the coverline text non-linear.

- Placing the masthead in the top left corner for visibility and overlapping it with the cover image to save space.
- Using the same font throughout for familiarity but distorting it occasionally for variety.
- Having a primary color scheme of red, black, and white for professionalism and accessibility.
- Incorporating pull quotes into articles to highlight important excerpts and promote reading in a recognizable style.
While following many standard conventions, some elements are adapted to better suit the specific media
Evaluation
The document provides an evaluation of the student's funk magazine media project. It discusses how the magazine challenges conventions by using black and white instead of color, though it also incorporates some conventions like bold headings. The magazine represents the funk community in a positive light. The target audience is older funk fans. Rolling Stone and Billboard would be suitable magazines to distribute the product. The student learned new skills with InDesign and Photoshop in creating the magazine pages.
Front cover rationales
The document discusses the cover design for a magazine called "Lost in Stereo". It will feature:
1) The masthead positioned below the banner to be one of the first things seen. The dominant image will overlap the masthead and take up over 2/3 of the cover space.
2) Sub-images will frame the dominant image and headline to emphasize them. Only the masthead and dominant image will not be close together to keep the design structured.
3) Gothic, bold fonts will be used for the masthead and sell lines with smaller fonts for less important details. Colors will be dark with pops of bright color inspired by current rock magazines.
4) The model, sub-
Double page spread analysis
The document provides guidelines for a student to develop a double page spread for a music magazine.
The student plans to use a single background image with text in two columns around the image. This challenges conventions and portrays a flow of ideas. Only one image will be used to avoid distraction from the text.
A simple color scheme of pink, white and blue will be used to focus on the artist's personality rather than appearance. The main story will be an interview to create a relationship between artist and audience. Font size and style will also promote simplicity and accessibility.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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:

Statement of intent double page spread
- 1. Statement of Intent (double page spread)
- 2. WHAT layout will you be using for your Double Page Spread and WHY? • For my double page spread I will be using a landscape canvas. I will also be using typical conventions seen in magazines. Such as headlines, captions, folio , deck, by line, etc. The reason why I will be using these magazine components is because these are elements that are always seen double page spreads within magazines.
- 3. WHAT principal components of a magazine layout will you be using in the construction of your Double Page Spread and WHY? • My principle components for my DPS will be pull-out-quote, drop cap and a caption for my image. I will use these elements because they are typical magazine conventions.
- 4. WHAT type of images, graphics will you be using to make your Double Page Spread appeal your target audience and WHY? • I will be using images that are related to the article in my DPS. The type of graphics that will be included in my DPS are boxes, borders and lines. I will be including these graphics to section, separate and align my text. This will make my magazine look more neat and organised to my audience.
- 5. WHAT image/images will you be using for your Double Page Spread and WHY will it/they appeal to your potential target audience? • The image I will be using for my double page spread will be a single image of a grime artist/s. My image will be slightly modified in Photoshop enhancing the image and maybe concealing any flaws. This will represent a perfect image but I will make sure that it doesn't come across too deceiving. By modifying my image it will appeal to my target audience as they will see a built up persona of someone they may aspire to be like. The body language of the model will be giving direct eye contact with the reader, use of non-verbal communication conveying a seriousness and a sense of ambition/motivation. The setting of the image is in a college on the steps revealing a laidback setting, the model will be someone with ascribed status but the background will contrast that conveying a sense of where she came from.
- 6. WHAT do you want the image/images to tell your audience and WHY? • I want the images to tell my audience that someone of their own capacity can achieve anything. Although I don't want the images to come across as imposing or as a facade. My image needs to be inspirational towards my readers so they can aspire to be like what is being shown to them.
- 7. WHAT story/stories will you be including in your Double Page Spread and WHY will it/they be related to the image/images? • My double page spread will include images relating to the article. The article will be an interview with a young female grime artist. She will be giving advice to those reading the article. It will relate as it is an interview with the artist also the image shows the audience who they are interviewing.
- 8. WHAT effect does the REPRESENTATION as portrayed by the image/images used for your Double Page Spread have on your intended target AUDIENCE? • The images used for my double page spread represent the genre of grime music. It also represents the idea that grime music isn't only for males but can be for females also. By using this image it will create a sense of countertype for my audience as they will realise a female grime artist can perform grime music as well.
- 9. WHAT is the MODE OF ADDRESS of the major story on your Double Page Spread? • Because my article is a interview there isn’t a direct mode of address. My article will be a interview between an interviewer and interviewee. There may be some mode of address within the speech as they may include some inclusive language or when they are talking to the audience they will address them accordingly
- 10. WHAT colour scheme will you be using and WHY? • I will be using the grey, white and blue colour scheme in my double page spread. This is due to the fact that my front cover includes these colours. By using these colours it will help my audience link the magazine together, which will make it easier to identify. It will also give my magazine a continuous theme throughout it.
- 11. WHAT main story will be included in your Double Page Spread e.g. Interviews, commentary about events, artist gigs etc., and WHY? • My main article will be an interview with a female grime artist. This is because my target audience will be interested in finding out about grime artists life and how they have achieved such things. By including an interview for my target audience they will want to read about this grime artist, who they can relate to as they may be of similar age, background, ethnicity etc, this will be in some ways inspirational for my readers. It is also a type of entertainment/gossip for my audience as they get an insight into her life.
- 12. HOW will you be arranging the information on your Double Page Spread and WHY? • I will be referring back to my double page spread drafts and if needed make changes to them. After that I will constantly be making drafts of my double page spread on InDesign and Photoshop. I will make sure my arrangement/layout is clear and not too complicated otherwise my readers won’t understand, for example my text will clearly indicate where it starts and where it ends. I will also include typical magazine conventions such as folio’s and captions and By-lines and headlines so that the audience is familiar with what they are reading. I will make sure that it fits in with conventions of a double page spread so that my magazine will not be mistaken for a poster or something else.
- 13. WHAT type of fonts and font sizes will you be using for your Double Page Spread and WHY? • The types of font I will be using are similar to what has been used throughout my magazine this will benefit my reader as they will be able to recognise texts throughout the magazine. I will use clear cohesive font which will allow my audience to read and understand, for example ‘times new roman’, ‘Calibri’ or ‘comic sans’. I wont any font to fancy or complicated to read, although I will vary font maybe 3 maximum. I will also ensure my font matches the theme of the magazine, for example I wont use any fancy font because this will contradict the theme of grime because grime is seen as a very rough and hard genre therefore I will use font that compliments the theme. I will stick to a reasonable size such as 14-16 for my text but components such as drop caps or captions that require various font sizes may have to be a larger font or smaller. By varying font sizes it will allow my reader to encounter different visualisations rather than sticking to one size.
