Week 5 Blog Exercise: Visual Language



Graffiti is used as an artistic tool to visually communicate empowerment through freedom of expression. In this case the writer's name is DREAM, which encourages the viewer to dare to dream. The fill-in is a blue fade which gives the image a dreamy effect, along with the the sparkles and highlights. The letter forms and connections communicate a mastery of style because it combines funk lettering with a classic sense of readability. Some of the standard forms characteristics of this form of visual communication as a visual language include the position of letters (bold, close together) and how the word DREAM is conveyed (clearly legible, glowing effect). Also the name of the writer's crew is written on the side (TDK) letting the viewer know which crew the artist is associated with.
