Greetings Trend Hunters!

Spark Innovation Now & SAVE! - We're getting close to launching our reinvented 2012 Reports, which will include some major enhancements. Accordingly, we'll be increasing the price, so if you want to get in at a discount, buy 2011 Trend Report (last updated in Q2), you will get the 2012 report too, when it is launched... More Info.

Graffiti 2.0 is this week's PRO Trend, with a score of 5.8. The implications: You can do much more with digital art software than you can do with a can of spray paint. While most infamous street artists are happy to stick to their traditional mediums, other artists, as well as many consumers, are taking to virtual and digital tools to create graffiti art. Whether it is light graffiti or simulated street art via a projector, digital graffiti is changing the traditional definition of street art, and encouraging the participation of those who may have otherwise struggled with a real spray can. Some examples:


Light Graffiti Fashiontography

Street Tagging Apps

Urban Wifi Landscapes

Illuminated Street Animation

Skeletal Light Paintings

Virtual Street Art Simulators

Motion-Gaming Street Art

Digital Graffiti

Enjoy!
