Revamped Graffitinet imagery
14th Jan 2008When planning the relaunch of the site with the Graffitinet.com team last summer we didn’t actually think about the old images at all. From our point of view we might as well have started from scratch - but for the Graffitinet guys it was important to keep their 20,000 images.
Migrating such a big amount of data isn’t trivial and takes a lot of time. We spents hours and hours looking through the imagery and discovered heaps of hidden gems. On streetfiles.org it will be way easier to find these gems in the mass of images as of course there is a lot of average stuff as well.
This small selection of 12 pics out of the 20,000 gives a good overview on the wide range of images. They are spanning almost 20 years from the beginning of the nineties till now, and in terms of themes and targets they are at least as diverse.
