EBSCOhost: Cyber Warfare…The New Reality - 3 views

  • The organizations they target rarely divulge their losses.
  • And government agencies also don't publicize these losses.
  • When entering a computer system, these termites don't always make a full exit. No, they leave Trojan horses behind for future work, waiting deep down in the computer for the right moment

  • Some Cyber intruders are homegrown, but many come from dozens of other countries, in particular China and Russia.
  • Intruders search, steal, destroy and unbeknownst to their hosts, alter data.
  • But these bad electrons, on the Internet, hide in plain sight.
  • The Russians still seek a military advantage. But, perhaps in an attempt to diversify a natural resource-dependent economy, they focus on securing financial data and viewing proprietary information. Mikhail Fradkov, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, said publicly:
  • The Chinese come for these reasons and more. They're sophisticated and very good. They use at least 100,000 full-time cyber-warriors, plus thousands of hackers-for-hire.
  • The French, North Koreans, Estonians and our Israeli friends, are deep into this game.
  • In 1994, less than 16 million people were on-line…and dial-up was king.
  • We considered using the Internet to empty the bank accounts of key Serbian leaders.
  • But it was also a wake-up call. In taking this step, we'd open Pandora's Box.
  • Yes, we'd could probably inflict great damage.
  • China, Russia and other countries, in an effort to reduce time and capital investments in research and development, at the expense of the United States, continue to use traditional human and technical methods of espionage.
  • Chinese attackers have extracted sensitive data from Google, Adobe, Yahoo, Dow Chemical, Symantec and the US Chamber of Commerce. The PRC, of course, denies its involvement. But with improvements in detection, tracking and occasional slip ups on their end, we'll know where they've been, or better yet, when they are in the act. Yet, even with these improvements we've found that many organizations are compromised for 6--12 months and even longer without detecting it.
  • And ultimately we'll need international protocols in order to corral hackers before they send bad electrons our way.
  • It will take much discussion within the US and around the globe, but increased cooperation will add value to the Net and save all legal participants a great deal of money. Secondly, cyber security is improving. But we need to invest in its constant improvement.
  • We probably have the technology now that can do this. We need the legislation, and the will to get it done.
  • The effort to protect a global Internet is not too different from when people debated how to decrease the number of airline hijackings.
  • But in the 1960's there were literally hundreds of hijackings.
  • The first recorded hijacking took place in 1931, when armed revolutionaries took over a plane in Lima, Peru.
  • The advent of Cuba as a preferred destination sure didn't help. And the friendly hijacking skies of North Africa also probably spurred on these airborne bandits. By the 1970's, almost every nation, including Cuba, which by then was seeing hijackers fly both ways,
  • So Nation states came together and hammered out agreements.
  • China and Russia have both experienced intrusions. But not many. Yet, if the Net remains the same, they like the Cubans before them will probably see the advantage of bringing genuine law and order to the cyber world.
  • the Chinese may just want to come to the bargaining table sooner, rather than later. Over Christmas holiday, Saint Nick hackers visited the Middle Kingdom spreading not-so-good-cheer across China's piece of the Internet. They picked up over 100 million Internet usernames, pass words and email addresses from some of China's most popular on-line sites …
  • This medieval icon shows a portion marked as "Terra Incognito"-- the unexplored territories, beyond the edge of the then-known world. A famous Latin phrase warns, "Here be Dragons." And yet there brave and resourceful men, then as now, who ventured into the unknown, discovered a new world, and unleashed one of the most expansive economic periods in history.
  • In 21st Century America, some worry about the dangers that may emerge from the cyber world, as well they should.
  • It's our tradition to actively meet the future with hope, optimism, and energy, as we step forward prepared to meet the unexpected.

  • Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate. How do you “send” it? You could tell people one by one or broadcast by radio or loudspeaker. That's verbal communication. But if you use any visual medium at all-if you make a poster; type a letter; create a business logo, a magazine ad, or an album cover; even make a computer printout-you are using a form of visual communication called graphic design.

  • graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure.
  • Designers often combine images and typography to communicate a client's message to an audience. They explore the creative possibilities presented by words (typography) and images (photography, illustration, and fine art). It is up to the designer not only to find or create appropriate letterforms and images but also to establish the best balance between them.
  • Graphic designers work with drawn, painted, photographed, or computer-generated images (pictures)
  • Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas. The designer works with a variety of communication tools in order to convey a message from a client to a particular audience. The main tools are image and typography.

  • image
  • Symbols and logos are special, highly condensed information forms or identifiers. Symbols are abstract representation of a particular idea or identity. The CBS “eye” and the active “television” are symbolic forms, which we learn to recognize as representing a particular concept or company. Logotypes are corporate identifications based on a special typographical word treatment. Some identifiers are hybrid, or combinations of symbol and logotype. In order to create these identifiers, the designer must have a clear vision of the corporation or idea to be represented and of the audience to which the message is directed.
  • Image-based design Designers develop images to represent the ideas their clients want to communicate. Images can be incredibly powerful and compelling tools of communication, conveying not only information but also moods and emotions. People respond to images instinctively based on their personalities, associations, and previous experience. For example, you know that a chili pepper is hot, and this knowledge in combination with the image creates a visual pun. In the case of image-based design, the images must carry the entire message; there are few if any words to help. These images may be photographic, painted, drawn, or graphically rendered in many different ways. Image-based design is employed when the designer determines that, in a particular case, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
  • Type-based design In some cases, designers rely on words to convey a message, but they use words differently from the ways writers do. To designers, what the words look like is as important as their meaning. The visual forms, whether typography (communication designed by means of the printed word) or handmade lettering, perform many communication functions. They can arrest your attention on a poster, identify the product name on a package or a truck, and present running text as the typography in a book does. Designers are experts at presenting information in a visual form in print or on film, packaging, or signs.
  • Graphic designers work with drawn, painted, photographed, or computer-generated images (pictures), but they also design the letterforms that make up various typefaces found in movie credits and TV ads; in books, magazines, and menus; and even on computer screens. Designers create, choose, and organize these elements-typography, images, and the so-called “white space” around them-to communicate a message. Graphic design is a part of your daily life. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you're wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure.

  • Video games most often use real-time computer graphics (rarely referred to as CGI), but may also include pre-rendered "cut scenes" and intro movies that would be typical CGI applications.
  • CGI is used for visual effects because the quality is often higher and effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes,
  • It can also allow a single artist to produce content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props

Method and Types of Graphic Design - 3 views

  • The role of graphic designs in our day-today life is vast. Ranging from mere candy wrappers to the advertisement boards carrying the picture of the jewels, automobiles etc. the role of graphical designs has become inevitable. Graphical designs can be commonly seen in the title of the films, in various kinds of advertisements, in magazines, books etc.
  • It is a general concept that what we see will stay longer in our mind than what we hear.
  • Images are effective tools of communication, which can express even the emotions and moods. When compared to words, people respond quickly to images.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Sometimes a few words are used in addition to the picture. A graphic designer chooses an image-based design only when he feels that an image is thousand times better than a word.
  • Type based designs are nothing but using words in an attractive way to convey a message instead of using pictures.
  • When the designers combine both text and images to convey the message to the audience, it is known as image and type design
  • After the design concept has been finalized, the designers work with photographers, illustrators, typesetters and other production technicians to get the final output as desired by their clients.
  • Logos and logotypes reveal that the product belongs to a particular company.
  • Only the artistic side of the graphic design is the designer’s job.

Typography and Page Design - 1 views

  • Typography may be defined as the theory and practice of letter and typeface design.
  •   In the broadest sense, typography is as old as the most ancient alphabets, ideograms, and hieroglyphic images. Even today, some of its terminology and a few of its styles go back to techniques of lapidary inscription that were popular in ancient Rome and Athens. But strictly speaking, the art itself belongs to the history of printing, for it was only with the advent of the print era--and the development of the standardized, reproducible sets of typeface styles, known as fonts--that a true craft or practical discipline of typography began to emerge.
  • Typography is mainly concerned with the style and size of typefaces. In printing, a complete set of type (consisting of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other special symbols) of the same style and size is called a font.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  •    Another typographic variable that can have a significant effect on the look, feel, and impact of a word, phrase, or section of text is the so-called style attribute (e.g., bold, italic, underlining, etc.) Effective communication is largely a matter of emphasis and attention, i.e., you must maintain your reader's attention and direct it particularly to the main points of your message.
