Graffit on Graffiti

The first project,

Well I found this project to be a very interesting idea and if not for the blue tape issue it would have been a great success. The planning process I don't believed called for complete disrespect of the schools rules, just a lack of cooridnating with the school. It did convey the point though of how enforcement of the system plays into graffiti. So good job for showing the authority of the school exist, and even through Joe.
Did the concept of graffiti on graffiti change much in my perception of the overload of ads that surround me? I think the idea of noticing ads was nothing knew, in fact if you take a marketing class it's sometime talks about how to create an ad so it will be stuck in as many peoples heads as possible. So, nothing new in that regard, but I like the idea of expressing the frustration of this overload brought to bear upon everybody. It's the voice of STOP! In order to make this point it involves more ads, but through graffiti. Thus by creating more ads to be introduced into our everyday lives to remind us about all the ads.
Overall the video was great, the game was, well, it could use some extra time to perfect. I'm all about the critical thinking in college and problem solving, which was taking place as the team notice their plan wasn't being well received by the audience. It would have been a little better on their part if they created the rules themselves and not been directed by Joe. In the end I believe the New York innovators would be happy to have seen their idea was played out here at the UW.
