So I was told that I should visualize "internet connection" as wireless since that's how our internet connections are. How do we connect wirelessly? It seems that we connect through radio technology. So I used a radio tower for the letter A, one making the picture of a radio tower very literal and replacing the A, and the other with using the letter A with just the antenna and the radio waves. I also decided to be less literal by using a pattern when I was researching images on wireless connection, which is sort of a wireless network type imagery. Before this, I used Access Denied, which is taking a side. This isn't about taking sides, it's about stating the facts. I added the subtitle so the viewer will know it's about internet censorship and not just some "internet access" logo that can be placed anywhere.Still thinking of more ways as well as a color pallet that would work. Not sure about my current one. But the ideas of wireless internet is making me think more visually in terms of the aesthetic of this project. For example, instead of using the countries in my info graphic, I can use something like the third example, placing the countries and the stats in those circles.
Headlines from the New York Times I'm working with sofar:
1. Summoning the Songs of Voices Stilled
2. Deception's Theme and Variation
3. Good Neighbors Without a Fence
4. In Hard Times, Put On A Smiley Face?
5. In A Globalized World, Winners and Losers
6. A Brooklyn Librarian is Fined For Promoting His Daughter's Book
7. Dynamic Young Engines Driving China's Epic Boom
8. Yahoo to Cut About 10% of Their Workers
I know some seem inaccurate, but I'm going to see if I can work with them. Plus I need look for two more. Sofar I'm thinking posters, bookcovers, and some packaging. Maybe I'll think of more when I think up of other ideas for my ten NYT pieces.

so far, like the third on the list.
the one with the revolving circles.
feel this is active.
have to see in context to determine if it works well or not.
good.
