Rounding up of my essay.
Punk has impacted design by simply encouraging people to give it a go themselves. This often happens by the sharing of ideas and work which happened through record sleeves and zines.As time has gone by these methods of distribution have gone more digital. Such as digital album artwork, blogs, social media, webpages. This is because it is now more accesible than ever even more so than a zine, which even itself if easier than ever to produce. This shows how the DIY ethos has adapted to the digital age. One issue now however is there is more information and 'noise' than in the 70's making it difficult for people with the punk spirit to be heard. Important work trying to evoke change is quickly drowned out, We are not so easily shocked anymore. Overal it seems to me punk has evloved and adapted so much there are sections of it that are not even reconisable anymore. However this does not mean they arnt there, the internet has bred a new generation of agitators, actvists, provoketaru, anachists and punks. Who all realise something is not right within our political systems and which to rebel be this through memes, art, graphics, illustration, mags, zines, blogs, social media, videos, stickers. People are just communicating now on a much larger scale.
