The document discusses how a magazine represents the social group of alternative music fans through its visuals. Models in the magazine are dressed in the typical style of that genre - skinny jeans, doc martens, plaid shirts - to appeal to the target audience. Photos on the front cover and contents page feature an 18-year-old male model in this style of dress, posing casually to convey the relaxed attitude of that demographic. While some may see focusing on appearance as shallow, the magazine aims to provide a lighthearted read for its young, music and fashion focused audience.
The document summarizes the experience of organizing the first ever AEE conference held outside of North America, in Mexico in 2011. A group had the vision in 2009 to bring the conference international. In 2010, the idea gained support and partnerships were formed between organizations in Mexico to make it happen. The conference was a success with 146 participants from 19 countries, over 30 workshops, and international partnerships that led to future AEE conferences in Latin America. Key factors in the conference's success were international sponsors, a marketing strategy utilizing various media and websites, and a diverse organizing committee with experts from different fields of experiential education.

The document summarizes the key points made in a report by Alan Berube of the Brookings Institution on confronting suburban poverty in the Atlanta region. It notes that poverty has increasingly shifted to the suburbs, where the poor population doubled in Atlanta's suburbs between 2000-2010. However, current anti-poverty policies and programs are not well-aligned with this new suburban geography of poverty. The document calls for a new agenda focused on regional solutions that achieve scale, collaborate across boundaries, and fund strategies in a more strategic metropolitan-wide manner.
The document analyzes data from a questionnaire about audience demographics for a music magazine. It finds that:
1) More females than males completed the questionnaire, so the magazine should be slightly targeted towards females.
2) Most respondents were ages 16-20, so the magazine should focus on content relevant to that age group.
3) Pakistanis were the most represented ethnicity, so the magazine content should reflect a diversity of cultures.
4) Pop was the most popular music genre, so the magazine should focus on pop artists and topics to appeal to the largest audience.
The document provides details about the layout and design elements of an NME magazine cover and pages. Key elements like the masthead, images, headings, and placement of text, dates and prices are described. The target audience is music fans who listen to genres like hip hop.

The course aims to fill the gap between college and university for graphic design students without requiring them to attend university. It will offer professional experience and skills training through links with industry professionals and local universities. The initial branding will focus on increasing local awareness through social media and college advertising to attract students like 18-year-old Sarah from Gosport studying art and design. Long term, the course hopes to expand nationally and internationally while also potentially offering specializations within graphic design.

This document analyzes the target audiences of 5 different music magazines:
- NME targets men in their late teens to early 20s interested in rock/indie music.
- Blender targets teenage girls interested in pop music and artists.
- Q targets both men and women ages 20+ with varied interests including indie/rock.
- Mixmag targets young men interested in partying and dance music.
- BBC Music targets an older audience, both men and women, with an interest in relaxation and instrumental music.
- The document discusses travelling harmonic waves, providing the harmonic wave equation and exploring an example of a battle rope wave.
- It describes how the displacement of a medium changes as a wave passes through it, and that harmonic waves can travel in increasing or decreasing x directions.
- An example problem is given about a battle rope wave with known amplitude, wavelength, and period, asking the wave type, harmonic wave equation, and wave speed. The solutions show it is a transverse wave and calculate the wave equation and speed.
The document summarizes the history of psychology from ancient Greece to the 18th century. It discusses the ideas of major figures like Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Locke, and Rousseau. Key concepts discussed include the rationalist vs empiricist debate on the origins of knowledge, mind-body dualism proposed by Descartes, Locke's tabula rasa theory of the mind, and Rousseau's view of human nature as noble rather than inherently sinful. The document traces how these philosophical ideas influenced the early development of psychology as a field.

PreEvents in Bonn, Helsinki and Amsterdam
In order to optimize the outcome of the co-working unconference LaFutura 2013 on November 11th in Amsterdam we have organised a sequence of PreEvents in different cities in Europe. And as part of this series we organised two PreEvents in Amsterdam at the end of September.
The first Dutch event on September 25th was attended by different people from mainly the supply side of the future business. As on the 26th the majority of the attendees was from the demand side. We have chosen this design because of LaFuturaâs theme of this year âNOW NEW NEXT Building the future industryâ which is for the morning program âmapping the future industry of todayâ. The afternoon will be structured around the theme âbuilding the future industry of tomorrowâ. The supply side tackled the theme âwho are we and what do we doâ in order to contribute to the ultimate goal to create an organized future industry with happy clients. The demand side tackled the question âhow can we connect future questions with the future industryâ. These PreEvents had the same unconference character as the main gathering will have. Therefore it was co-creation and picking and mixing the brainpower present.
The outcome of the first events where four models or maps (including The Future Navigator by Delia Dumitrescu) with the working titles âAttitude versus processesâ, âTravel guideâ and âNetwork of spheresâ. During day two the future related questions where plotted on those different maps. It wasnât a piece of cake to come up with ultimate questions, answers and maps but steps were made towards more clarity and mutual understanding grew. The outcome of the Dutch days will be combined with the outcomes of Helsinki and Germany and the key findings and key learnings will in their turn be input for November 11th.

The document discusses the target audience for a pop music magazine aimed at teenage girls aged 12-18 who enjoy pop music and artists. Research showed that the audience would be teenage girls attracted to popular pop artists. In creating the magazine, factors like age, interests, attitudes, gender, and audience profiles were considered to design a magazine that would appeal to fans of pop music through informative and entertaining content focusing on the latest popular artists.
IPC Media is a leading UK publisher that produces over 85 magazine brands across various genres like women's, men's, home/garden, and sports magazines. Their magazines reach over 26 million UK adults each month both in print and online. While IPC Media has success with magazines like NME and Marie Claire, they already focus on alternative music and women respectively. Bauer Media would be better suited to create a new pop music magazine, as they are a large international publisher not focused on one music genre, and there is currently no magazine targeting the audience interested in popular pop music.
Surrealism originated in the late 1910s and 1920s in Paris as an artistic movement that sought to release creativity from the unconscious mind. Key historical surrealist artists included Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst, and Man Ray. Common themes in historical surrealist works were disjointedness, the unfamiliar, dreams and nightmares, and portrayals of the subconscious mind. Techniques included cutouts, unusual proportions, and incorporating everyday objects. Contemporary surrealism is used in advertising to create new perceptions of products and services, as seen in WWF advertisements, through techniques like photo manipulation and three-dimensional images.

#7: Michael Jordan â What is his shirt number? â Quote after his 5th NBA ChampionshipâŠâŠ âI have missed more than 9000 shots in my career.

#8: Tom Arnold Story â RosanneâŠ. âI donât have any money and my school payment was due, so I came up with my first legitimate creative business ideaâŠ. I would walk 21 miles in only my underwear, in the middle of a cold winter, and people could pledge to give me money. I was not curing cancer, but I needed to pay for my school. It was a really stupid idea, so of course it worked very well. Before I could believe it the whole town was involved and they gave me $3000. Then news reporters from all over the country were calling me. I was famous! I was in Show Business!
