REFLECTION  -

Having discussed five ideas it became clear that the more positive responses were to Idea's three and four, saying they have the most depth and can be taken further. Especially the Website it is modern and number one source for news and information ahead of newspapers and journals, people can access it through the phone. An online presence could be extended to social media, Instagram and twitter to promote it. It can also be promoted through posters, mixing both ideas together and advertise the website through propaganda style ideas.

REVIEWED IDEAS -

SB2 IDEA SIX - ANARCHY WEBSITE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

Ad campaign - both physical and digital. Physical element would consist of propaganda style adverts which promote the website and highlight topics discussed. Inspired by ad campaigns and anarchist style. Digital elements consisting of social media content - digital posters, gifs, memes.

Consider 

- style (Anarchist in the 21st century)

- Content - information 

- colours

- typefaces

- imagery

- Online look

SB2 IDEA SEVEN - ANARCHY ONLINE PUBLICATION

Digital publication - can be updated as political stories can occur, have online contributors and multiple sections to it. News - reliable political sources with anarchist opinions and topics being discussed. Opinions - Contributions of essays and artwork commenting on social topics and anarchist ideas in a modern day aspect.

Consider 

- User interface and experience

- Content - topics - news 

- type face 

- layouts 

- contributors

Reflection -

Having gotten feedback on the two new revised ideas, it became apparent that idea six would put across my research question and get a good range of ideas out into one concept. For this idea to work I will have to research into some ad campaigns and styles both related to anarchy and on a wider scale.
