Graffiti is not a contemporary phenomenon but has a long history behind it. According to the definition in the Wilkipedia, is called "graffiti or painted" to various forms of inscription or painting, which usually appear on public property private or foreign, such as walls, vehicles, doors and furniture.
would graffiti written text through the use of aerosols, paint, knives or any other material, and has a specific meaning and can be composed of several letters, one word or even by a sentence, reflected in walls, roofs, doors, etc..
For hip-hop graffiti is one of the 4 elements of their culture and art. For them it is a specific type, and for example, a policy would not be painted a graffito.
In this regard, the purpose of graffiti is to communicate information mainly targeted at a particular receiver group, so often held in public places, without knowing its author. If the message is more individual spots appear on custom or say "intimate," such as a bathroom door, an elevator, table, etc.
The pint Ada is socially repudiated, it is considered illegal, as it violates the basic rules of coexistence. Usually the author of a painted hide his name, or are tucked inside a social group. In cases where the author signed the letter, include only your name, no surname, being uniquely identifiable within the mentioned group.
However, Gra ffiti takes on a more artistic. The tagger seeks a certain style. His intention is to recognize, above the message, otherwise as in a painting. Attempt to cause more than communicate. They may contain words or not. In fact many times the message is transmitted through various forms of drawing, whose message is contained within it. This is also in contrast to the graffiti.
Most of the time. authors tend to be self-taught graffiti and seek to improve the practice of the drawings. To become recognized must have made many firms on the street, trying to be left for later noted the graffiti is related to the identity of the firm. In this sense there is a need for affirmation.
Another feature of the graffiti is considered a member of an urban tribe, with its own clothes and specific musical tastes. In some places, especially in big cities are "doing a line", so looking to make graffiti over an entire metro ine, so that many people recognize that line drawings, but mostly which belong to the group that traveled.
There are different types of graffiti: the bubble or bubble, the wild, block, free, also known as "freestyle" (which is the most commonly used), style or model litter cake.
Most graffiti artists start by firms, with a nickname, what we know as " tags . "Later evolve, filling the firm, giving volume and finding your own style, to finish making murals.
tag The term literally means "tag", and comment are pseudonyms and are usually not more than 5 points, made a few strokes, usually adorned with a pen and significant feature. There are all types, although the veteran graffiti artists are not to their liking tags made in a vulgar, believing that that litter the city and hurt them all.
In conclusion, the main difference between graffiti and graffiti is the existence of a message on the drawing or written text.
There are some rules of hierarchy that I find interesting to describe:
- A signature made with a marker (tag), can not be erased or crossed out for another firm with a marker in place.
- On a sign made with highlighter yes you can make another signing with spray.
- On a signature made with spray (tag), you can " pota "which is the lowest category of graffiti, corresponding to an executed very quickly. Turn on the giant squid can make graffiti letters or icons.
- About a wall of "tags", it can make a graffiti.
- Can not make a graffiti graffiti over another, unless the author is the same. That is, the right to touch, cross, overlap, blurring or erasing graffiti, is reserved to the author of the graffiti to be modified.
Today, it seems that in some places has launched a hunt "the graffiti in some municipalities. It has come to hire handwriting to try to identify the taggers. Even very recently it seems that you are testing with a machine to try to identify them. All this because of the money that costs to municipalities (and thus taxpayers) erasing graffiti, graffiti and tags displayed in the streets.
In the place where I live, for example, have enabled them places, walls or walls, which allows them to make graffiti, provided they meet certain conditions and the work is aesthetic and artistic. Another thing that is true, but that's another topic. I've even come to see how some blinds some businesses are emerging with graffiti done on them, albeit tasteful, with the premise of hierarchy that we discussed earlier. They prefer to see a well done graffiti, which is aesthetically for trade, before the appearance of every day a new painting or like that is less clean, based on that described can not be performed on other graffiti graffiti.
Finally, regarding what concerns us in our work as handwriting or as experts, say that the analysis of graffiti is really complicated, because how to analyze the paintings and the different styles of graffiti is very different. I'm not saying that you can not do, but in these cases we proceed in a similar way to a socio-linguistic skills, seeking above all to a profile of the author, by analyzing the colors and their meaning, texture, shape, structure of the letters, etc. .
If graffiti is easier, trying the same in a similar way if an anonymous process, analyze the slope, speed, land usage, spelling errors, etc.
Finally, in the case of a tag is more difficult as the author of the firm makes a autofalsificación of his own firm, distorting it to become unrecognizable. Therefore analyze the tag as if it were a signature autofalsificación.
And nothing else at the moment. I hope that through this article know a little more how this little world of graffiti and graffiti.
Greetings.
