Project Idea.

For our group project we are creating a very creative timeline for NY graffiti.
We are focusing on the main eras and when different styles came about.
We will be highlighting the artist who had the most impact or highest popularity with their art work.
We are trying to establish the movement of graffiti art. How each decade had a different style, the main artist who contributed during their time era, etc.
I believe our timeline will be a unique design not only in content but also design.
We will be incorporating as much graffiti art as possible with this assignment.
