Editorial note

  • Fill ins, within the context of graffiti, denote the technique of colouring or patterning the interior of the letters in a graffito. This technique is a fundamental aspect of graffiti creation, contributing significantly to the visual impact and readability of the design. The process of creating fill ins involves the application of colour or patterns within the outlined letters of a graffito. This can be achieved through a variety of techniques, including solid colour fills, gradients (or fadings), and intricate patterns. The choice of fill in technique and colour or pattern can greatly influence the overall aesthetic of the graffiti, adding depth, contrast, and visual interest. Fill ins serve not only a decorative purpose but also a functional one, enhancing the legibility of the graffiti and helping the letters to stand out against the background. This technique is a testament to the graffitist's skill and creativity, allowing for a wide range of stylistic expressions within the confines of the letter forms.
