Logos, patterns, and more notes

The patterns I'm working on up top is the idea of "wrapping paper", being that wrapping paper covers something up. I'm working on some square patterns, and my books (process and thesis) are going to be squares to have the shape of a pixel. As for the logos, I was asked to try another word other than Access. Used a thesaurus. Wasn't crazy about the words that came up, thought they were too plain, but I decided to try Pathway. The numbers on the left I'm thinking of using if I decide to include chapter numbers.

As for further research, going into the nazi and white supremacy sites, it seems that any article I find about them, they don't seem to give me any names for sites. One even says "the site's anonymous author". And about 90% of these sites are hosted in the US, and in one article, yahoo was asked to censor these sites, and not just the french version. One even asks "does one country have jurisdiction to regulate companies in another country"? But the main question is, why wouldn't they list these sites and why would they not elaborate on anything on these sites? I also found a list of these sites, and most of them I'd get error messages like "domain not found" or "access restricted". This is pretty strange.

I found another article on banned war pictures, but this was during the Gulf War in 1991. Tami Silico took photos of flag-draped coffins on a plane in Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. She got fired, and a year later, Russ Kick put up the 361 Dover photos on his site and was shared with the world. Although it was, the Pentagon barred further release of this content in need to protect privacy of soldier families. Then I researched on how the Vietnam War was the most uncensored war in history. In 1943, the first photograph of an american casualty was published in Life Magazine, and soon TV and photojournalists were allowed to access some of the most disturbing imagry in America's collective memory.

I also did some research on social media websites, like YouTube, MySpace, Flickr, and more. Will be worked up into an infographic, which will be worked into one of my stickers.
