I decided to make a graffiti style font for my Typography Studio class. Here is my initial brief :
“Im taking a look at some graffiti fonts for inspiration, after watching this inspirational video on a team of artists who collectively tagged a train within 3 minutes.
I will avoid looking at graffiti fonts online as I do not want to subconsciously duplicate any. My best bet is to download images and see what makes some tags similar, then try to make something that more resembles a typical font. A lot of graffiti is hard to read and I will try to incorporate that in my design however, in the end I need it to be somewhat readable. I will try to follow the speed on of graffiti artists, that is swift like movements. Rarely does an artist go back and fix parts of his or her wall design. It is typically a one shot deal as they are trying to get it done fast in order not to be caught.
I am quite interested in the different tips that graffiti artist use on their cans to control the movement of the paint. Also, throws, which are extremely quick tags typically have an outline, sometimes multiple outlines. First, a thin black out line is made, then the fill color is added. Finally, the artist runs a typical white or black border around his original outline.”
For the final design it was requested that you design a poster using your original font:
