Editorial note
- Fadings, in the context of graffiti, refer to a specific painting technique that creates a gradient effect. This technique is typically used to fill in the letters or the background of a graffito, adding depth and visual interest to the overall design. The process of creating fadings involves the careful blending of one colour into another, resulting in a smooth transition that can add a sense of movement and dynamism to the graffiti. This technique requires a high level of skill and control over the spray can, as the graffitist must carefully modulate the pressure and distance to achieve the desired effect. However, fadings are not merely a technique but also an outcome. The term can refer to the gradient effect itself, which is a distinctive stylistic feature of many graffiti. Fadings can greatly enhance the visual impact of a graffito, contributing to its aesthetic appeal and communicative power.
