Bearbeitungshinweis

  • 'Highlights' in the context of graffiti refer to the use of light-coloured (often white) lines or star-shaped marks that are added to a graffito to create the illusion of light reflecting off the surface. These elements are strategically placed on the letters or designs to mimic the effect of sunlight or artificial light hitting specific points, thereby enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the graffito. Highlights are a key technique in graffiti, often used in conjunction with shadows to enhance the depth and dimensionality of the work. They add a level of complexity and realism to the graffiti, showcasing the graffitist's skill in manipulating visual elements to create a sense of depth and volume. By mimicking the effects of light and shadow, highlights contribute to the visual impact of the graffiti, transforming flat designs into dynamic, three-dimensional forms that capture the viewer's attention.
