Forms Of Graffiti

Stencils:
Graffiti stencils are normally made out of paper, cardboard, or other easy to use materials to create an image or text that is easily reproducible. Once the stencil is made then the desired design is cut out of the selected medium and then the image is transferred to a surface, such as a wall, through the use of spray paint or roll-on paint.





3D Text:
3D text is form of graffiti which stands out a lot more or looks more realistic. Some artist use this effect to make their work, such as a well known graffiti artist called Daim. Daim is a German graffiti artist who first started spraying in 1989 and hasn’t stopped since. Daim has become one of the most sought-after graffiti artists in the world, and has even appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records for spraying the highest graffiti in the world. The only ‘traditional’ graffiti artist on our list, Daim creates 3D art on interior and exterior walls, canvas and vehicles and also works in animation and sculpture. 

Text:
Graffiti occasionally consists of text. There are many different types of graffiti text fonts, some simple and some complicated. Some of these fonts are called Graffonti, Ghetto Streetz, Most Wasted and Sick Capital Vice. In some cases there are whole alphabets of that particular font.
