Belfast Graffiti Photography

Over the weekend i took a trip to Scotland and went over to Belfast for the day, this was a perfect opportunity for me to take some photographs of Graffiti from different cities which can be used in our image gallery and time-line section.
there was plenty of graffiti dotted around the city. here are a few example's of of the photographs from the city center



This style of graffiti is very raw and inspiring to me because i am very interested in the colourful and 'off the wall' pieces found in the streets.
There was also some nice stencil pieces of graffiti (the artist sprays over a template to create a piece of work) in Belfast


Another advantage of visiting Belfast was the history of the city, because there was and still is conflict with certain groups in Belfast so a string of graffiti murals were painted around the city over the years. These murals hold political and social views in them so there are a lot of messages involved within the pieces. This 'mural' type of graffiti and historic factor would be ideal to put in the time-line and types of graffiti sections to our application. Here are a few examples of these murals



Before i put any of these images into our application i will edit them in Photoshop so that i can get the most out of the images, i will use the techniques such as colour balance, Levels, curves etc
