We presented our initial problem and ideas to a few other groups in the friday progress crit. As this was a live brief, it was stated that it would not be feasible to set up an art gallery exhibiting pieces of graffiti yet there could be other ways of going about this. Someone mentioned an online gallery such as a blog or an interactive website where we post our own photographs of graffi in Leeds and then link people to its whereabouts. This can be done using an interactive Google map showing its exact location.
Also, if the site became live and fully interactive, visitors could be able to submit their own photographs that they've found when wandering around Leeds and therefore getting everyone involved to make graffiti a more socially acceptable art form. This can be done through posts on a blog or submissions via e-mail - as long as we can get the public to showcase their own photographs.
However, we need to get it into the public domain through advertisements. These can be placed either near graffiti to get the artists themselves enticed or through media which would attract a more diverse target market - for example, those who are against graffiti and see it as a negative art form.
