Graffiti Graphics
Role
UX Designer
Background
As someone who is a fan of graffiti work, living in New York, graffiti gets painted over within days. An idea came to mind of preserving the works I see on the street so they have an extended life of their own. I took my portable scanner and scanned over 500 works in New York. More of the graffiti work can be seen here. I wanted to make a website so that those works can live forever. I want to call it graffiti graphics.
Design & Functionality
My goal for Graffiti Graphics was to make a website that felt like graffiti. I wanted to make the pages textured, and I wanted there to be wear and tear on the typeface. I wanted there to be many different fonts as well. The goal was to capture the ruggedness of graffiti. I wanted it to feel different than my other work.
I want this space to be open for all types of users. I want artists to use it, and people who want to preserve the works as well. It was important for me that users have the option to put their social handles, the location of the work, and a title. For the safety of users, I want them to be able to remain anonymous. The idea of being anonymous was given by a friend of mine Rei Gundy. Thanks Rei
