The document summarizes feedback received on a music album cover design. Some respondents said the bright cassette colors caught their attention but others felt there was too much white space. Suggestions were made to make the title and artist name bigger and move the title to the right side. One person said the artist should wear more eye-catching clothing but the designer disagreed, wanting the focus to remain on the cassettes. Another felt emphasizing the artist name took away from the cassettes so the name will be in black. The designer believes the white space is important to simplify the cover design and emphasize the title and image.

My design- Hannah Walhmark
Hannah Walhmark designed a logo and poster to represent herself. For her logo, she chose the color purple because it is calming and makes people think. Her logo features two clouds to represent not being alone and having others to help. For her poster, she chose a quote about being yourself and not caring what others think. The picture shows a carefree child at the beach to represent living freely. She used a simple font so it did not distract from the image and message. The light blue font color matches the sky and water that would accompany the gray tones of the beach picture.
book cover A3
Paula Scher is an American graphic designer known for her playful and experimental approach to typography. She believes design needs an element of play to avoid being stiff and boring. While interviews are solemn occasions for her, design work should be serious but not solemn. She cites Aksidenz Grotesk as her default font but enjoys fonts similar to Helvetica with personality. When asked what "dirty" means to her, she jokes that it currently describes the state of her apartment during renovations.
Design portfolio
This document provides a design portfolio critique by Robin Lynch-Woodley. It consists of over 30 examples of designs categorized by design principles like color, style, emphasis etc. Each example is rated as "Good" or "Bad" and accompanied by a 1-3 sentence justification for the rating. The critiques provide concise yet insightful feedback on effective and ineffective uses of design principles for each example.
Review project
The student created a poster for a volunteer organization but it was not very successful. The poster lacked a clear focal point and contact information was too small to see. While learning some graphic design tools, key elements like the logo were misplaced. To improve, the student would make the contact text more prominent and add effects like selective coloring to draw more attention.

Genre research
Indie pop originated in the UK in the 1980s with bands like The Smiths and draws influence from groups such as The Velvet Underground and The Television Personalities. It is characterized by jangling guitars, love of 1960s pop, simple and relatable lyrics typically featuring innocent themes, catchy choruses, and non-harsh vocals. Key bands that helped define the genre include The Smiths, known for the songwriting partnership between Morrissey and Johnny Marr, and Heavenly, formed from members of Talulah Gosh. Common instruments in indie pop include bass, vocals, guitar, and drums.

Target Audience Research Inside Right
The document discusses feedback from a target audience on the design of a CD tray. Respondents had mixed opinions on the tray's use of cassettes as a design element, with some finding it too busy or confusing while others thought it was professional and fit well with the album's theme of "Cassettes." Suggested changes included using more colors, rearranging the cassettes, or replacing them with CDs. The designer responded that keeping the cassettes in color made the tray more eye-catching and noted that a recurring cassette theme would help link related marketing materials.
Spiritual Disciplines: Prayer
The document discusses prayer and provides biblical references about why prayer is important and how to improve one's prayer life. It notes that people may struggle with prayer because they don't know how, don't believe it will make a difference, or are too busy. However, the Bible teaches that prayer should be continual and that God answers prayer according to His will. The document offers suggestions for learning to pray better such as listening to others pray, scheduling time for prayer, and using the "ACTS" framework of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
Target Audience Research: Front Cover
The document summarizes feedback received on a music album cover design. Some respondents felt the cover was eye-catching due to its use of bright colors and inclusion of a person throwing cassettes. However, others felt there was too much white space and the title and artist name should be larger or repositioned to draw more attention. The designer agreed to change the placement of the title and make the artist name black to emphasize the cassettes more. They also chose to keep the subject's clothing basic and not overcrowd the cover to maintain the simple design.

The document discusses prayer and reasons why people may struggle with prayer. It provides several Bible verses encouraging Christians to pray continually and not lose heart. While God answers prayer according to His will, prayers may not be granted if the request is wrong, the motive is impure, the timing is not right, or the person praying is not right with God. The document suggests that people can struggle with prayer because they don't feel a need to pray or are too busy to make it a priority.

Story Board
The document provides a storyboard for a performance by Alice. It outlines that Alice will walk in and out of shots, and that lyrics and instruments will be drawn on an overhead projector for Alice to sing and play along with. Items to be drawn include lyrics, a microphone, clouds, money, a drum, guitar, trumpet in different sizes, and numbers or stars that Alice will point to or interact with during the performance.
Survey monkey
The survey found that the respondent's target audience of 16-20 year olds prefer conceptual music videos over narrative ones and enjoy indie pop music. Most respondents said the most profitable way to sell a music album would be to make it available on iTunes to reach the largest audience.
Scams

Front cover stages of production & audience feedback
This document contains the process of designing a magazine front cover through multiple drafts based on audience feedback. It begins with an initial draft that is criticized. The creator then designs two new drafts and gets feedback indicating a preference for the second draft. Further revisions are made based on additional feedback, with the third draft being preferred. The creator incorporates more feedback into a final version, improving elements like cover lines, secondary images, and adding a plug.
Experiments
The document discusses experiments the author conducted to develop thumbnail designs for an upcoming project. They created several design options to choose from so they would have a clear vision. This allowed them to select the best fitting design, resulting in a more professional looking final project. The author evaluated their top designs, favoring one that was easy to read with a bright, creative look, though it felt unfinished. Another colorful design was eye-catching but difficult to read. Ultimately, the author combined elements they liked from different designs into a final piece incorporating a colorful background, glow, and legible text, allowing them to take the best parts of their experiments.
Focus group
1. The document describes a focus group that provided feedback on a music magazine product. Participants offered opinions on the cover design, layout, and content.
2. They generally liked the bold cover design with catchy headlines and images. For content, they preferred a mix of images and text in articles. The double page spread layout with a large central image was also well received.
3. Some suggestions for improvement included adding more color to the contents page and varying the images used. The creator found the focus group validated their design choices while also identifying ways to further enhance the magazine.

Location Recce
The author is evaluating potential locations to take photos for an indie music magazine. The black curtain background is rejected because it is thin and lets light through, appearing unprofessional. The photo studio is selected as the preferred location due to its plain white background, ability to go completely dark, and representation of the bright simplicity of indie music. The outdoor location could work for smaller images but is rejected for main photos due to lack of professionalism from the bare winter trees. The blue screen is rejected for making images appear unprofessional and not representing the grounded beginnings emphasized in indie music.

Here are my observations from the primary audience research:
- The target audience prefers magazine covers that are attention-grabbing but not overly busy or complex. They want something that stands out visually but is still sophisticated and easy to digest.
- The main image or "center piece", typically featuring a model, is considered the most important element. The cover design should highlight this central visual and make it the clear focal point.
- A generic layout with the main image as the clear focal point, and supporting text/elements arranged around it, is preferred. The design shouldn't be too unconventional or distract from the central piece.
Based on this, some ways my product could appeal to this audience include:

The document analyzes and summarizes several magazine covers:
1) The first magazine cover uses a black and white theme with subtle pops of color. It draws attention to important text with varying shades of white. The side-view model photo allows for surrounding text.
2) The second magazine employs a black and white theme and larger bold text to draw attention. It features a close-up photo of a model's face to focus on facial structure.
3) The third magazine incorporates a black and white theme with a colorful element in the corner. Its masthead draws attention with the word "photographer" and a side-profile model photo shows facial features.

The document discusses ideas for a magazine advertisement for an album. Person A likes the simple design but suggests adding something around the image to make it more eye-catching. Person B thinks doing half of the image on one side and half on the other with a red background would look strange, and suggests filling in the blank bits or adding phones. Person C likes the idea but thinks it needs more color. Person D is not a fan and thinks it looks bland, suggesting including more images or details about the album to make it more interesting.
Presentation of mock up and final cover
The document discusses the development of mock cover designs for a CD. It presents 7 attempts at a front cover design and analyzes each attempt. The designs started simply but became more advanced, using techniques like shapes, colors, fonts and images. Feedback from target audiences was also gathered to help select the preferred final cover design.
Front cover production
The document describes the process of designing the front cover of a magazine. The designer edited photos in Photoshop to improve quality and added text and graphics. Based on research of real magazine covers, elements like band names, concert photos, and festival logos were added. Feedback was gathered and minor changes like resizing graphics were made. The final cover includes photos, text, and follows conventions seen in magazines targeted to rock music fans.
5. pre production
The document discusses planning for a photography project, including:
- Choosing a font and layout for the style sheet based on visual appeal
- Selecting colors that reflect the spring season and nature theme
- Considering fonts and photographs that fit the theme
- Mockups for the cover and interior page layout with descriptions
- Props and locations needed, mainly camera equipment and computer software
- Potential issues like bad weather or camera malfunction and solutions like backup planning
2. research
The document provides details about existing photography products that were researched. Common features identified include the products being related to photography, using bright colors that draw the eye, and having a white background to make photographs stand out. Aspects the researcher will include in their own work are vibrant colors, a white background, and including writing alongside photographs. An analysis of audience research from a questionnaire shows most respondents were male, so the researcher will aim to appeal to both female and male audiences.
Task 6
This document contains summaries of 4 design projects:
1) A front page design for a broadsheet newspaper with guidelines, title, date, ads and weather section.
2) A music festival flyer designed in Photoshop with artists, date and website on the front and back.
3) An art exhibition poster designed in Photoshop with explosion graphic, title, date and location.
4) A magazine double page spread featuring Rihanna with pull quote, title and photography. Guidlines and fonts were adjusted for clarity and emphasis.

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.

Target Audience Research: Front Cover
- 3. THE FIRST QUESTION I ASKED TO MY TARGET AUDIENCE WAS….
- 4. A FEW RESULTS TO QUESTION 1. Yes I do. The cassettes are bright colours which draw and attract the attention of the audience. Yes. It is different, this grabs your attention straight away. No, I don’t like it and I don’t think that its eye catching at all. There is a lot of white space, this gives me the idea that the songs will be boring too. Yes. When the image is a real person, the audience attention will be grabbed because she is throwing cassettes into the air. No. I think that because over 50% of the cover is white space it is not eye catching. I think that the whole cover should be bomb barded with colour. That would attract my attention. No. The writing needs to be bigger. That will be sure to grab attention.
- 5. WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY TO THE FRONT COVER?
- 6. “I THINK THAT THE TITLE ALONG THE BOTTOM WOULD LOOK BETTER ALONG THE RIGHT HAND SIDE”. I agree with this persons feedback this is why I am going to change the placement of the title on the final design. I think that this will look good as this will be different and will make the audience look even closer to the front cover as the writing is down he right hand side.
- 7. “I DON’T THINK SHE SHOULD BE WEARING BASIC AND SIMPLE CLOTHING. IT SHOULD BE CRAZY AND EYE CATCHING”. I do not agree with this, In the final design I am going to have her in a basic white top and a blue jeans. This is because I want her to there but not take away attention from the cassette or to have the audience looking at what she is wearing.
- 8. “ I DON’T THINK THAT THE ARTIST NAME SHOULD BE IN COLOUR. IT TAKES THE EMPHASIS AWAY FROM THE CASSETTE”. I also agree with this feedback. So on my final design I will have all the writing in black. I want the first thing the audience look at the be the cassettes. So if putting ‘Leslie’ in black will do this then I will.
- 9. “I THINK THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH WHITE SPACE, YOU SHOULD MAKE EVERYTHING BIGGER TO FILL THE SPACE OR ADD MORE ON THE FRONT COVER TO FILL THE SPACE”. I think that having the white space on the front cover is important, it makes the cover different and very simple. Having the white space puts this emphasis on the title and the image. This is because my artist brand image is herself and for this album cassettes. This is why it important to not over crowd the front cover.
