The influence of the visual elements of cover design on the appeal of art and cultural magazines: case study is book fare in Oulu
Design of magazines - a complex and time-consuming process, often requiring custom solutions. Developers need to know what impact on the visual component of information influence on the audience. The purpose of this case is to gain an understanding of what kind of visual elements of paper media influence on the choice of viewer. As a particular type of magazine were chosen art and cultural magazine with a reason to narrow research and to get depth knowledge about this topic.
The study is structured that in the first chapter the information about purpose and research questions is provided. Second chapter describes research materials and methodology that were used to collect data. The third chapter gives the literature review that focus subjects of the study. In the chapters four, the results of the research is analysed and conclusions are made. After all chapters made generalised conclusion using data from the literature review and data collected from the interviews

Signs of intelligence: William Herle's report of the Dutch situation, 1573
On the 11 June 1573 the agent William Herle sent his patron William Cecil, Lord Burghley a lengthy intelligence report of a āDiscourseā held with Prince William of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands.ā Running to fourteen folio manuscript pages, the Discourse records the substance of numerous conversations between Herle and Orange and details Orangeās efforts to persuade Queen Elizabeth to come to the aid of the Dutch against Spanish Habsburg imperial rule. The main thrust of the document exhorts Elizabeth to accept the sovereignty of the Low Countries in order to protect Englandās naval interests and lead a league of protestant European rulers against Spain. This essay explores the circumstances surrounding the occasion of the Discourse and the context of the text within Herleās larger corpus of correspondence. In the process, I will consider the methods by which the study of the material features of manuscripts can lead to a wider consideration of early modern political, secretarial and archival practices
A Most Secret Service: William Herle and the Circulation of Intelligence
This essay examines the letters of the Elizabethan intelligencer William Herle during
a period of intelligence-gathering in the Low Countries in 1582. Writing to his
patrons Lord Burghley and Sir Francis Walsingham, Herleās letters offer a rich
landscape of detail and information. Yet these are not simply āadministrativeā letters
devoid of emotive expression, but display epistolary structures designed to maintain
patronage, and attempting to recreate the distance between correspondent and
recipient. While Herle was in Antwerp, there was an assassination attempt against
William of Orange. Herle was keen to convey ābreaking newsā as quickly as possible,
and bridge the geographical distance between the English court and Delft, where the
attempt occurred. In anticipation of pitfalls in postage, and to ensure that each of his
recipients received the same intelligence at the same time, Herle increasingly opted to
send āverbatimā letters: duplicate copies of important correspondence. Letter-writers
could also employ diverse methods to avoid interception and perusal, such as ciphers
and the accompaniment of bearers. In this way, the letter might travel unnoticed, or
under protection. These ideas of envoys and letters disseminating through porous
membranes, ideally, but not necessarily, authorised and endorsed by the authorities
are tantalising. I explore this transmission and translation, and attempt to determine
through his letters the relationship between Herle and his correspondents; writing
from a location without, reinforcing his liminal status as both spy and informant,
decentralized yet essential to the English political landscape

Teaching Peirce to Undergraduates
Fourteen philosophers share their experience teaching Peirce to undergraduates in a
variety of settings and a variety of courses. The latter include introductory philosophy
courses as well as upper-level courses in American philosophy, philosophy of religion,
logic, philosophy of science, medieval philosophy, semiotics, metaphysics, etc., and even an upper-level course devoted entirely to Peirce. The project originates in a session devoted to teaching Peirce held at the 2007 annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy. The session, organized by James Campbell and Richard Hart, was co-sponsored by the American Association of Philosophy Teachers
The logic of forbidden colours
The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to clarify Ludwig Wittgensteinās thesis
that colours possess logical structures, focusing on his āpuzzle propositionā that
āthere can be a bluish green but not a reddish greenā, (2) to compare
modeltheoretical and gametheoretical approaches to the colour exclusion
problem. What is gained, then, is a new gametheoretical framework for the logic of
āforbiddenā (e.g., reddish green and bluish yellow) colours. My larger aim is to
discuss phenomenological principles of the demarcation of the bounds of logic as
formal ontology of abstract objects
