Graffiti vs. Graphic Design

Which career is good for you, graphic design or graffiti? Both of them are art cultures. Graphic design is legal and creative individual career. On the other hand is graffiti, which is a sign of urban decay, vandalism, crime and its illegal.
When we talking about graphic design we notice that it’s a part of art. Graphic design has a sense of design, create words and/or pictures, it’s also a visual communication. The professional graphic designer is Paul Rand. Graphic designers should not just draw and write well, but also they must make their design colorful and easy to remember for other people. It’s a fact that average pay for one hour is $41, 19 US dollar. Designers also can choose where to work, at home, in an office or outside. On average, the minimum amount of education is between two or four years of training in either fine art or design. Designers have a natural ability to create an extraordinary piece of design. The opportunities as a graphic artist are endless.
Then goes on with graffiti, which are words and/or pictures created by trouble markers, rebels or thugs. Today, tags are most commonly written the marker pen or spray-painted onto the building and apartment wall. The reason why do people thug vary widely, is, some thug such as a motto, are used to mark or claim territory. Typically graffiti with include the name of the gang nicknames. The average pay for one big and colorful graffiti is more than $500 US dollar. The general public associates graffiti with criminal activity and is afraid to patronize the business. As we can see, people who live in areas with heavy graffiti suffer from a lot of crimes. Cities are spending substantial amount of money to eradicate the graffiti damage on the public property. Graffiti, as we all know, is an art form whose main focus is the creation of graphical elements through the use of spray paint. Although considered to be illegal, because it’s defective nature, graffiti often combines similar elements that exist in the world of graphic design.
Here are the main differences between graffiti and graphic design. Graphic design is legal and calm career, which you can do in your house, office or outside. But when we are talking about graffiti we notice that this is street and dangerous job. Even graffiti has raise than graphic design, many people choose graphic design. Also we notice another important difference that graffiti is illegal and most perilous career.
As we can see, it comes down to a personal choice on career between graffiti art and graphic design. People are able to decide between two different types of career and live. In my opinion people are choosing graphic design more than graffiti because it is safe for your live even graffiti job gives more money.

Graffiti 
Graffiti art is an art form. The reasons, including aesthetic criteria, as to why it is an art form far outweigh the criticism of illegality, incoherence, vandalism, a fear crime and nonstandard presentation. On  the other hand graffiti is art , a culture and it's historical and meaningful. Graffiti was born in US.
Graffiti is also criticized for being too hard to understand, but certainly this cannot keep graffiti art from being art anymore than the obscurity of abstract art or Picasso's cubism prevents either one of those hard to understand art forms from being considered as art. Goldman's aesthetic theory is of use to clarify the problem of location and presentation in relation to graffiti art.
Therefore, graffiti in the form of spraycan art is art. It has form, color, and other base properties as well as an arrangement of these elements into structures that qualify it aesthetically as being art. Just doing something with spraypaint might make it graffiti, but it does not necessarily qualify it as art or graffiti art. In addition, when the spraycan art is analyzed according to the artist's intention and value to audience, there is even more evidence to suggest that it is genuine art. The only obstacle that has hindered the general acceptance of graffiti art is its location and presentation. However, the instances of acceptance of graffiti art by the art world shows that conventional methods of presentation are not all that matters in determining if something is art. And graffiti art is not to be disqualified as art simply because it might appear unsolicited. In short, graffiti in the form of spray can art is art like any other work that might be found in a gallery or a museum.
