DIGITAL: (political) MEME MAKING PLATFORM
The platform will be designed to have several options of tools. Such as choosing an image from the available selection (which will be connected to a server of images of exclusively political memes) and using the text, draw and noise option.
This is where and how it starts. By a person harmlessly making a meme, not knowing the effects it could have. This part exists to lure in the target audience and steer them into PRINTING or DOWNLOADING the meme they have made to SHARE IT.

(print on demand) ARCHIVE OF POLITICAL MEMES PUBLICATION

summarized info in the beginning
The print aspect will appear once the user has made a meme and clicked PRINT or DOWNLOAD. In that moment they will receive a part of the publication relating to the meme they choose in the making a meme process. Essentially they will be trolled into knowledge.
Because print archives/ makes important/ commemorates something as ephemeral as a meme. Also because the aspect of TROLLING into knowledge about this subject fits the target audience.
HYBRIDITY:
Memes in themselves are hybrids of text image and templatable cultural memory. But in their original form they are rarely put into formal settings such as print.
MAKING IMPORTANT THE EPHEMERAL POLITICAL MEMES + AN INTERACTIVE ONLINE MAKING SPACE THAT PROVES TO HAVE CONSEQUENCES
URGENCY:
Urgency is something of a long term concept. While we are still impressionable, our consciousness is being radicalized by forces we don’t recognize (like political memes that are essentially propaganda). This forms our world view for years to come or in extreme cases causes leads to acts of physical violence.

design questions
CAN A PLATFORM FOR MAKING LURE/ TROLL PEOPLE INTO LEARNING ABOUT POLITICAL MEMES/ sharing the platform with friends
HOW CAN A MEME MAKING PLATFORM HELP TO DERADICALIZE YOUTH AND PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE
The back part of the cover of the publications serves almost as an index that shows how many of the memes the user has still not leader about/ interacted with
most of the publication has a lack of colour because I'm assuming the user will not be printing in colour but from home
