There are many different types and styles of graffiti around the world.
Graffiti is a type of art where images, letters, and names are drawn or painted onto buildings and structures. While most street graffiti is illegal, it is sometimes considered a decorative and trendy art form - in conjunction with urban or hip-hop cultures. Spray paint and paint markers are materials used for "tagging" (writing graffiti), but modern technology allows you to design your own graffiti on the internet.
Instructions
Designing graffiti online
1. Log on to one of the free graffiti writing sites. There are "text generator" websites that only allow you to type the word and choose the text or font style. Others are more interactive - giving you virtual spray cans, brushes, and a variety of colors to create graffiti art.
2. Type your text and adjust the letters by moving or rotating them to your preference - depending on the site you're on.
3. Choose a color scheme and add fun details like stars, bubbles or arrows. Be as detailed as you like and try alternating designs or colors. Some sites allow you to add your own images to your art.
4. Add shadows and highlights to your graffiti to give a three-dimensional look (3-D).
5. Save your graffiti art and print it, if you choose. You can also submit your work to the website's online gallery (if available), so that others can see your colorful masterpiece.
