THE GRAFFITI REPORT CARD: UGLY GRAFFITI HATERS UNITE

Graf_grades Graffiti Report Card: A way to combat bad graffiti by shaming the writer
By Brandon Thomas Baunach

What is the Graffiti Report Card?
The Graffiti Report Card is a mechanism that you can use to judge graffiti. It’s a sticker with an arrow on it that points to the graffiti. The sticker has a number of categories you can judge the graffiti on as well as a space to write your own comments. The way you use the Graffiti Report Card is you:
1: Find a piece of graffiti you love or hate.
2: Print out the PDF I’ve included in this article (HERE)
3: Fill out the graffiti report card with your comments
4: Stick it up on the wall next to the graffiti
5: Take a picture and send it to me

What is the background of the Graffiti Report Card?
It’s a project I started a couple of months ago after seeing my neighborhood (The Mission District of San Francisco) receive an amazing amount of ugly, large, and talentless graffiti. I wanted a way to combat the ugly graffiti while at the same time give praise to the talented graffiti writers who I feel make the streets more beautiful. It occurred to me, that many of our local taggers don’t realize how ugly and talentless their graffiti is, so I wanted to give them some feedback.
