I had the misfortune of getting stopped by the train on the way to karate this morning. While watching the train go by, I started reading the graffiti that people had spray painted on the side of their giant steel Union Pacific canvases.
I have a few notes.
First, don’t over-ghetto your graffiti. There were several instances of words (at least, I assume they were words) that were so over done that I could not tell what they word was supposed to be. Please contrast your colors in such a way that the text stands out and I can read it as the train car speeds by.
Secondly, for God’s sake pick something interesting. Nobody wants to see your name (and hello… illegal?) and if you have a stupid nickname (like PIE or HAMMER) don’t use it either. This person has the right idea. If you’re going to do giant artwork, pick an interesting subject. Do a wall-sized mural of John Lennon instead of a series of interlocked swastikas. It’s just better for society.
Finally, please take a note from my Graphic Communications 101 course… DON’T USE SCRIPT FONTS IN ALL CAPS.
That is all.
