Project Title

Street Art & Graffiti

To develop students’ understanding of urban art styles, exploring the use of typography, symbolism, and personal expression while enhancing their skills in colour blending and composition.
Students explored the principles of street art and graffiti, learning about bold typography, colour theory, and composition techniques. They experimented with lettering styles, dynamic effects, and blending techniques to create their own graffiti-inspired name tags. Building on this, they designed custom shoes incorporating street art symbols to express their individuality. Finally, they compiled their research into visual presentations that showcased their influences, design processes, and final artwork.
