Make Street Art At Kinkos

Create street art at Kinko's.


Street art, also known as poster art, is art developed for public spaces. It is used for activism and to raise awareness about certain social and political issues. Street art can include traditional graffiti art in addition to sticker art and stencil graffiti. According to Faith Campos, a Kinko's employee, customers should have an idea of the kind of street art they want before they come to Kinko's. In order to make street art at Kinko's, it is best to create art on paper before proceeding.


Instructions


1. Determine what kind of image you want to incorporate into your street art. Your image can contain graffiti-styled letters, bubble letters, shapes, etc. Use a pencil to sketch your image on your paper or poster board and use a marker to darken your outline.


2. Finalize your outline and color your street art image with colored pencils, markers, paint or chalk.


3. Take your finished, colored street art image to Kinko's and give it to an employee. The employee will then scan your image and create a digital PDF file. He will then transfer the digital file to a large poster board. This simply involves printing the digital file on a poster board of your choice. You can have multiple poster boards created so that you can hang them in several places.
