The document summarizes the student's work on an experimental photography assignment consisting of four tasks: out of focus photographs, movement photographs, reflection photographs, and photomontages. For the out of focus task, the student took photographs of lights that came out the best because the light sources looked like orbs. For the movement task, a photograph of a spinning person came out the best, making their hair look like fire. The best reflection photo showed two reflections - one blurred and one in focus. The best photomontage merged four photos of a car park to look like one panoramic image. Overall, the student felt they could improve their work by being more creative, taking photos in different locations, and setting up

We are finally starting to think about how touchscreen devices really work, and design proper sized targets, think about touch as different from mouse selection, and to create common gesture libraries.
But despite this we still forget the user. Fingers and thumbs take up space, and cover the screen. Corners of screens have different accuracy than the center. It's time to re-evaluate what we think we know.
Steven reviews his ongoing research into how people actually interact with mobile devices, presents some new ideas on how we can design to avoid errors and take advantage of this new knowledge, and leaves you with 10 (relatively) simple steps to improve your touchscreen designs tomorrow.

The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
3. Out of focus photographs is when the camera is in manual focus in order to create a blur. I
think that this is the best out of focus photograph I took because I feel like it looks the most
professional. Having a blur on the photograph changes the appearance and adds a totally
different perspective as it can make features look different, for example it makes the lights
look like orbs of colour. The paintings that are on the wall in the image and the red from the
floor add some colour as it does look quite bright in all areas of the photograph. As the
photograph was taken down a corridor, the lights look as though they get closer together
towards the end which causes them to merge together creating a nice effect.
4. Evaluate: ideas eg analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got?
Ensure you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your
influences and assess how your work compares.
When taking these out of focus photographs I wanted to use mostly lights as I think they look better
when blurred as the light sources look like orbs which creates a better effect because it changes the
appearance of the photograph. I took a photograph of a fire extinguisher out of focus which I thought did
not look as good because it looked like it wasn’t meant to be blurry. I used the trial and error technique
when taking my photographs because I did not have a clear idea as to what I wanted them to look like. I
think that using this technique gives more of a wider option and it can mean that I create something
appealing when in fact it could've just been taken by accident.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities (how does it look) of your work. How does it look? What do you like
about it? What are the strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
Some of my out of focus photographs did not turn out very well as they don’t look very professional and
I wasn’t happy with the outcome. I feel that the photographs taken of the lights looked a lot better
because the effect created by the blur looks pretty although the other things I took photographs of did
not have the same outcome. I think that if I went to some other locations than college, I could've created
more effects rather than using the same idea more than once.
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
I feel that the photographs I produced were not taken as well as they could’ve been as I need to take
more care with them rather than just taking them randomly and hoping for a good outcome. Also, I need
to think more about what I am trying to create because this could help me take more care as I will be
4
wanting a specific outcome.
5. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they
be?
I think that I need to take more photographs in different locations because this will mean I have a varied
amount that look different rather than them all looking more or less the same. To improve my out of
focus photographs I could set up a some different coloured lights so that they create the effect that I was
trying to achieve. I would also try using different things other than the lights to have more of a selection
rather than using the same method for each photograph as they may all look the same and I would learn
more by trying new effects. I think I need to also monitor the amount of light in the location I take my
photographs because sometimes there is too much light which makes the photograph look too bright.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as
the colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and
where this could be developed.
Taking out of focus photographs meant that some of the shapes featured would change shape slightly.
This creates a different perspective of the photograph and can make it look like something completely
different. I think it works really well because a boring object can be made to look like something unusual.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfil the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
The photographs I took for the out of focus theme fit the brief I was set because I used the correct
camera settings and the produced images looked like they were meant to although I could’ve taken
more.

7. Movement photographs is changing the camera to a longer shutter speed so that movement
is picked up. This photograph of Chloe is the best one I took because the appearance of it
has changed completely. For example, she was spinning around which has created the effect
of her hair looking almost like fire. From far away this photograph would probably not look
like a human although up close you can see her face. The background around Chloe is also
blurred which adds to the effect and makes it seem like it is not just a corridor.
8. Evaluate: ideas eg analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got?
Ensure you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your
influences and assess how your work compares.
Most of the movement photographs I took were not very successful as I could not get the effect I was
looking for. I found that in one of the locations where I took my photographs, the light was too bright so
the outcome wasn’t very good. I felt like only one of my photographs came out well. I used trial and error
for these photographs as I changed location quite a few times to darker and lighter places although
when it was dark the camera did not pick up movement very well. Also, in bright areas, I found that the
camera did pick up the movement but the photograph looked really white which I didn’t think looked
particularly good.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities (how does it look) of your work. How does it look? What do you like
about it? What are the strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
The qualities of my work is that I did although I did not take many photographs, there was a few that
turned out well. Also, one of my photographs created an effect that looked like fire which made it look
totally different to how it did in real life. I experimented different shutter speeds so that I could vary my
photographs and make them look slightly different.
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
I think that I need to make sure that the camera is perfectly still when taking my movement photographs
because this could make them have better effects. Also, I need to be in a location that isn’t too dark or
too bright so that the camera picks up enough light to create a good outcome.

9. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they
be?
To improve my work I need to take more photographs so I have more of a range and try out different
moving things instead of doing it of the same thing all the time. To take more movement photographs I
will use a tripod or balance the camera on something still and flat so the photographs are more likely to
have a good outcome. I may also try different shutter speeds to see which one suits the photographs.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as
the colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and
where this could be developed.
The shapes in my movement photographs would’ve been slightly altered because the longer shutter
speed means that the moving object would be across the photograph. I found that when I was taking the
photographs of Chloe moving, on some of them it looked like you could see through her because of the
camera picking up the movement.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfil the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
Some of the movement photographs I have produced fit the brief because I used the correct camera
settings and a longer shutter speed to achieve seeing movement in the photographs. I think I need to
take some more as some of the photographs don’t look like they fit in with the brief.

11. Reflection photographs are about finding something with a mirrored surface to take a
photograph of. I think this is the best reflection photograph I took because it has two
reflections, a slightly blurred one and one that is in focus. I think this photograph looks as
though it is using the fisheye effect because of the curved surface.
12. Evaluate: ideas eg analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got?
Ensure you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your
influences and assess how your work compares.
I did not have any intentions for my photographs so I used trial and error to take them. I found some
mirrored surfaces and then took my photos. I took a photograph in a mirrored tap but it did not come out
very well as it looked really blurred when it was meant to be in focus. Also, the flash went off which
meant the only reflection was the flash.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities (how does it look) of your work. How does it look? What do you like
about it? What are the strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
I think the qualities of my work are that some of my photographs look like they are using the fish eye
lens which makes them look more professional. Also, in some of my images the photographer has
ended up been the one who is photographed which is not usually the case. The lighting in my
photographs is perfect as it makes them look clear and not too bright or dark.
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
I think that my reflection photographs could’ve been better because I could’ve been more creative and
set some reflections up instead of taking them so that I was in the reflection every time. This would
mean that I have more of a variety of reflection images to use rather than all of them been similar.
12
13. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they
be?
To improve my work I will take more reflection photographs using different techniques. For example, I
will set up some reflections for the photographs to look unusual. To achieve this I will need to find some
mirrored surfaces that I can take photographs in but make sure I am out of them.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as
the colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and
where this could be developed.
The shapes in my photographs look pretty much the same as they do in real life although they are
backwards because they’re taken in a mirror. The light in the photographs is not too bright or dark and
all of them are focussed well and are not blurry.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfil the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
The reflection photographs I took do fit the brief although I could’ve done a wider range so that they
didn’t all look the same. I could also use different reflected surfaces such as sunglasses, billboards etc.
13
15. Photomontages are made up of a lot of photographs taken in the same place. For example,
this photomontage is made up of 4 photographs of the same car park but split into different
sections. When put in Photoshop, all the photographs get merged together to make a
photomontage. I think this is the best photomontage image I took because it fits well and
looks like it is all one photo. Compared to the rest of the photomontages I took, I think this
one has used the most space and looks the most appealing as there is a lot of colour and it
looks more complicated.
16. Evaluate: ideas eg analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have you got?
Ensure you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You should reference your
influences and assess how your work compares.
When creating the photomontage images I did not know how they were going to turn out so I used trial
and error. I had an idea of what I wanted the final images to look like but I was not certain that they
would turn out that way as Photoshop determines how they are going to look.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities (how does it look) of your work. How does it look? What do you like
about it? What are the strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
I think that the qualities of my work are that the photomontages all fit together well and they look like
they are all one photograph rather than split up into different sections. I think that the car park image
looks the best because it just looks like a panoramic photo as all the sections merge well and do not
create any parts that look out of place.
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are strongest and
which could need further work and development? Be sure to use technical terms in your work such as
exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk specifically about any post-production techniques you have
used.
I think that the photomontages I created worked out well as a whole although my first attempt wasn’t as
good because I did not use enough space which meant that when the photographs were put into
Photoshop, there were parts that had nothing there.
16
17. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with additional work? What
would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further experiments? If so, what would they
be?
To improve my work I could make the photomontages look more interesting by taking them in different
ways. For example, instead of taking them in a straight line I could move the camera up and down to
create a different style. I could also use parts of different images to create a photomontage which would
make it look unusual although this may not look right as nothing will fit together.
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and patterns as well as
the colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the composition of your work and
where this could be developed.
Some of the shapes in my photomontages have been changed slightly because they have been merged
together. Some of them look good with this effect because it makes it look unique although some of
them look out of place. The lighting in my photomontages is not too bright or too dark which is good
because it means that my images are clear.
Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfil the brief you were set. Do they match
the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using specific examples.
The photomontages I have created do fit the brief because they all fit together well and I have used the
correct method on Photoshop to create the montage. My photomontages are not as complicated as I
would’ve liked them to be so they are not very experimental because I used a random area of college to
take the photographs.
