Notes, graphics coming up.

Currently working on graphics, but I thought I'd take the time right now to post my updated outline after changing it a thousand times.

World Internet Censorship

I. General Info

Here I'll talk about what internet censorship is, as well as talking about the broader issues like literacy and internet enemies. Some of these topic I'll cover will include:

- Literacy
- Internet usage
- Internet enemies

II. Popular websites that have been banned in other countries

- YouTube
- MySpace
- Sites banned by Google

III. French and Germans against Nazi and White Supremacy sites

I came across an article on how Germany and France have banned Nazi and White Supremacy sites. I'm trying to figure out what these sites are and any other certain reasons of them being banned for. And some of these sites had their content changed, yet are still blocked. Also, why would they go from a nazi/white supremacy site to something like a chinese language site. It seems that even the articles I read won't state any names of these sites, except for one of them stating "Jew Watch" as one of them. Trying to find more details.

IV. Pictures from the Iraqi War

There were horrific images published on the internet of dead soldiers. Zoriah Miller, who took the pictures, is now possibly going to be barred from all US military facilities for posting these pictures. Pictures were removed. I might also include other horrific pictures that were banned from the internet.

Yes, my outline still seems to be sketchy, but it's getting there.

Right now I am currently working on my logo and stickers. The stickers I'm making is inspired from the idea of censorship being that you cover things with it. I'm designing both simple and complex, sticking them onto certain things, take pictures, and then create posters. Some ideas right now include:
- Computer screen
- URLs
- Posters/ads in the public
- Tshirts that advertise certain marks
- TV
- Mouth

Okay, so those are my notes. Posting the graphics soon.
