Final Project

     For my paper I decided to argue that the penalties for graffiti are too harsh, and that they should be reduced. I talked about how legal walls can stem the flow of graffiti into the city, but ultimately graffiti will inhibit a city. For my project I'm going to make a short film, documenting a local writer in the process of doing tags and throws. I'll have narration throughout the video, asking the writer different questions. I'll shed light on what graffiti writers really do, and show how it's not a detriment to society, and the current laws against graffiti shouldn't be as harsh as they are. The laws should be made to get the graffiti removed, not the writer imprisoned and forever branded a felon, depending on the circumstances.

  1. I like the idea for the project, gives us a different perspective on graffiti. Also, relates to us because the local writer could be us.
