Editorial note

• The "graffito class" collection is a central part of the graffiti thesaurus, categorising the various forms and styles of graffiti. This collection does not fall under a broader category but instead serves as a parent category for a range of more specific concepts. The "graffito class" collection captures the diversity of graffiti forms, from "street art" and "graffiti symbols" to "verbal graffiti" and "graffiti writing". Each of these terms represents a narrower concept, providing a more detailed understanding of the different graffiti classes.

Example

• The "graffito class" collection is exemplified by the variety of graffiti forms. "Street art" refers to visual artwork created in public locations, often unsanctioned, but also includes officially commissioned pieces. "Graffiti symbols" in graffiti are iconic signs or emblems used by graffitists to convey specific meanings or messages. "Verbal graffiti" refers to graffiti that primarily uses words or phrases to communicate a message. Lastly, "graffiti writing" in the graffiti context refers to creating graffiti, particularly those that involve stylised lettering or tags.
