Design History Blog Post for 10/12

For this weeks design history blog post choose one designer from THE LIST and choose a graffiti artist. There are two links to the right that deal with the history of NYC graffiti. Make sure to posts pictures and link back to the sites where you found your images and information. Also make sure that if you choose a designer who is also a visual artist that you are posting and writing about the artist's design work rather than fine art. (Certainly those lines are blurred with many artists, but others have very specific lines of delineation between their art and design.)
