Title and Graphic Treatment

I'm stuck on trying to title this project, and its making it difficult for me to develop a graphic/type treatment. I want to get in the idea that the piece is looking at the ways digital media has changed activism, and the ways it has made the reporting of "facts" both more clear and more confusing. I tried to write out a list of words that I wanted to stress, sort of like a vocabulary mood board, and the best I came up with out of that is Digital Revolution, which I'm ok with if it sticks but I'd like to do one better. I think I'm going to work with that title for now, so at least I can design a quick cover graphic and choose a title card font. Since I'm stressing the digital/tech aspect of activism over activist history/legacy, I'm going to go with a simple, slick, sans-serif font like Helvetica, Vedana, or Klavika (the Facebook font). Graphically, I'm thinking solid lines, bold colors, not much of a color range— black, white, and greens. I'll mock up something soon and post a jpeg.
