Art Not Vandalism

Poster
Glasgow’s street art community is fast-growing but the city fails to cater for them, with
a lack of legal graffiti walls for artists. To eradicate vandalism, authorities have taken a close-minded approach to graffiti, instead being quick to label it as vandalism and creating a blurred line between the two.

‘Art Not Vandalism’ is a campaign that aims to seperate graffiti from vandalism. Through workshops, talks and an online platform, the public can try graffiti and understand the artform, learn about the issue and sign a petition for more legal walls. Doing so allows their graffiti from the workshop to be part of the campaign’s poster identity, resulting
in a growing visual petition.

The website acts as an online version of the workshops. Digital graffiti tools allows the user to make a poster and sign a petition on-screen. They can read blogs on the issue and view a gallery of all of the artworks.

Whilst each poster is unique, a core brand is created through shifting typography. This aims to reference the non-alignment in brick walls; a nod to the end goal of the campaign to create more legal graffiti walls for artists.
