Today there are lots of different types of graffiti, many of which are not illegal and do not deface other people’s property. This is the type of graffiti you want to produce, if graffiti is what interests you. The following tips will give you ideas on what kind of graffiti you might want to try and then help you find your own style.
Instructions
Step1 Try light graffiti. This is a new type of graffiti where you use different types of light sources, and then use time lapsed photography to record your work. This type of graffiti allows you to create what you would never be able to draw or spray paint and there is no vandalism to worry about here. To do this you will need different types of lights like flashlights, bike lights, glow sticks, blinking led lights and other types of light that give an interesting glow. You can make this light a part of any urban setting, a phone booth, a fire hydrant, a sidewalk or even a wall. Of course you will need to do this type of graffiti at night because you need the full effect of the light. All you need to do is set up the lights in a pleasing composition. You will also need a tripod and you will need to set your camera on a twenty to thirty second exposure to photograph the light well.

Step2 Start your own reverse Graffiti. Another type of graffiti you might want to try is what is called reverse graffiti. In this type of graffiti, you use brushes, soap, water and cleaning agents. What you do is clean the areas that form the graffiti or the writing. You want to choose walls, windows or areas that are really grimy, then you want to draw out your forms by cleaning the area that makes up the drawing.
Step3 Paint it on the walls--when you decide to do your own normal graffiti find walls and sections that need to be cleaned up and ask the owner for permission. Before you go out and spray paint, you will probably want to make a stencil drawing of your letters or forms before painting. Take the stencil, spray paints and adhesive for the stencil.
