Journal Entry 5: Graffiti

This stencil on the side of a newspaper dispenser is spray-painted. It stands out because it is white on bright orange. Arizona written above is spaced out well to not be completely aligned but still have enough space. The y in Daily has spaces around it so the line does not interfere with the legibility. 

This statement; "Bikes Not Bombs" shows character, and is bold. I like how it unintentionally drips at the bottom looking like blood.
The side of this building really cached your attention. It is a piece of art but shows tattoo style typography and it works really well with its interesting curves and 2 colors.

This type was interesting to me even though I was unable to read what it said. I think the angled type looked good to make the space underneath more interesting to focus on the drips.

The handwriting going along this wall on top of a childish mural sends a message. I like how the font is equally as kid-like as the painting.

This graffiti had an interesting Q and the drips are all very similar lengths.

I took these pictures around downtown Flagstaff.
