I knew I wanted to do a product since I started this project, but I wasn’t sure how to incorporate it into my paper. Originally, I wanted to look at two different cities with a lot of street art, and create my pieces based off of a common theme or message in the city’s art. However, that idea didn’t have any clear style attached to it, and I thought it might be too broad. So, I ended up deciding to examine two different artists, Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat.
