Make Your Mark : Style & flow
Conținut
We start the Style & flow > by looking at the 'Kings of Style' exploring how graffiti evolved through writers who pushed lettering beyond names and into culture. You will look at how style developed through key figures such as Phase 2, whose bubble letters and zine culture expanded what graffiti could look like; Dondi, whose mastery of wild style raised lettering to a new level of complexity; and Futura, who broke rules entirely by pushing tags into abstraction.
You will begin by revisiting your original tag, using it as raw material rather than a finished idea. Through tracing, remixing, and free sketching, you will stretch, tilt, overlap, and connect letters in new ways. The focus is on loosening up, experimenting, and discovering how flow emerges through movement and repetition.
You will explore two directions in parallel: one version that stays readable but evolved, and one that goes fully wild — expressive, exaggerated, and rule-breaking. Style sheets and video tutorials act as guides, not limits. You are encouraged to pause, experiment, break things, and try again as you develop your own visual rhythm.

Task no.1
Evidence verified by: un organizator al activității
To earn the Style badge, you will build on your original tag by exploring how lettering can be pushed, stretched, and transformed through style writing.
You will start by tracing your original tag and creating several remixed versions. From there, you will develop two clear outcomes:
- One evolved version of your tag that remains readable but shows growth in flow and structure
- One wild style version that exaggerates form, breaks rules, and prioritises expression over clarity
You will support this process by watching short tutorials on throw-ups and wild style lettering, keeping your sketchbook open as you work. Pause the videos, try techniques, twist letters, connect forms, and experiment with layering and movement.
To complete the task, upload three photos showing:
- Early sketches or traced studies
- A remixed, evolved version of your tag
- Your wildest, most expressive style version
Alongside the images, include a short reflection responding to:
“What changed when I pushed my tag into wild style?”
This task demonstrates your ability to experiment, take creative risks, and develop flow laying the groundwork for the next stage, where style becomes message.
