Editorial note
- The "graffito type" collection is a significant category within the graffiti thesaurus, encompassing the various forms and styles that graffiti can take. This collection stands independently, not falling under a broader category, but instead serving as a parent category for more specific concepts such as "characters", "stencils", "slogans", "scratchings", "tags", and "throw ups". The "graffito type" collection captures the wide array of graffiti forms, each with its unique visual characteristics and methods of creation.
Example
- The "graffito type" collection is exemplified by its sub-concepts. "Characters" refers to graffiti that features stylised figures or characters, often seen in street art. "Stencils" are a common type of street art where images or designs are created by spraying paint over a pre-cut template. "Slogans" are a form of verbal graffiti that primarily uses words or phrases to convey a message. "Scratchings" refers to graffiti created by etching or scratching a design into a surface. "Tags" are the most basic form of graffiti, consisting of a graffitist's stylised signature. "Throw ups" are larger and more elaborate than tags, usually consisting of stylised lettering created with two or three colours. Each of these types represents a unique approach to creating graffiti, reflecting the diversity and creativity within the graffiti community.
