Editorial note

  • The "design" collection is a sub-category within the "graffito components" collection of the graffiti thesaurus. It focuses on the visual arrangement and composition of a graffito, including its layout, symmetry, and use of space. This collection includes more specific concepts such as "arrows", "bubbles", "clouds", "cracks", "crowns", and "drips". The "design" collection provides a detailed look at the various motifs and design elements that can be used in a graffito, each contributing to its overall aesthetic appeal and visual impact.

Example

  • The "design" collection is exemplified by its sub-concepts. "Arrows" are a common motif in graffiti, often used to direct attention or add dynamic movement to a design. "Bubbles" refers to a motif where shapes or letters are rendered in a rounded, bubble-like style. "Clouds" are often used as a background or framing device, adding depth and context to the main elements of the graffiti. "Cracks" are a motif that gives the graffiti a weathered or aged appearance. "Crowns" are often used to signify respect or status within the graffiti community. "Drips" are a design element that gives the graffiti a raw, spontaneous look, often associated with the use of spray paint. Each of these design elements plays a crucial role in the visual language of graffiti, contributing to its unique aesthetic and expressive potential.
