Make Your Mark
Make Your Mark
Content
Make Your Mark is a full creative journey that takes you from making a first mark to creating work that communicates meaning in immersive space. Across the four modules, you build confidence in expressing yourself visually, starting with simple mark-making and rhythm, then gradually developing flow, style, and personal visual identity. You learn how to experiment, take creative risks, and solve visual problems through play, repetition, and reflection.
As the course progresses, your focus shifts from how things look to what they mean. You develop the ability to turn words and images into messages, thinking critically about audience, context, and intention. You learn how typography, scale, and placement can change how a message is felt in public space. In the final stage, you bring everything together using Virtual Reality, translating sketches into immersive artworks, experimenting with spatial design, and sharing work in a collaborative environment.
By completing all four modules, you don’t just learn graffiti techniques or digital tools. You build creative confidence, visual literacy, and the ability to use art as a form of communication — developing skills that support self-expression, critical thinking, and adaptability in both creative and real-world contexts.

Content
In Level 1, you’ll learn how to turn simple lettering into a personal creative language. You’ll explore the origins of tagging, understand why graffiti became a symbol of visibility and voice, and start shaping your own handstyle. You’ll experiment with flow, rhythm, and wild-style techniques that push your letters into new forms — expressive, exaggerated, and full of attitude.
You’ll also learn how words carry meaning, and how a single phrase can become a piece of visual storytelling. By the end of this level, you’ll have created your own tag, explored wild-style variations, and designed a message piece that reflects who you are and what you stand for. It’s all about unlocking confidence, trusting your instincts, and discovering the creative power hidden in your own handwriting.

To earn this badge, you will explore how graffiti writers use lettering to express identity, movement, and style. You will begin by looking at real-world examples, including pages from Lettering Fanatics by Torus1 × Temps1, video tutorials, and curated visual references. As you explore, choose one example that sparks something for you — this might be the flow, shape, energy, colour, or attitude — and briefly explain why it stands out to you.
Next, you will sketch your own name or nickname This stage is about exploration, not perfection. You will play with letter shapes, stretch and squash forms, connect letters, and experiment with rhythm and movement. Using layering techniques, you will add colour, outlines, borders, and optional symbols that reflect your personality, story, or vibe.
For the final step, you will turn your tag into a finished “My Name Is” sticker. Using the provided template, refine your outline, clean up your forms, and bring the piece together as a bold, confident mark. To complete the task, upload a photo of your final sticker and include a short reflection using the prompt:
“My tag represents ___ because ___.”
This task demonstrates your understanding of identity, flow, and intention — the foundations of graffiti culture.
Bonus Exploration (optional):
Explore additional lettering tutorials from S1VE to deepen your understanding of style and technique.
