Light Graffiti vs. Street Art

Light graffiti is basically imputing light to portray words, or a picture in a attention grabbing way. In this piece of light graffiti I have chosen, it is a scene of soccer, where the ball is in red, and the goalie in blue. The goalie seems to be diving for the ball whereas the ball seems to be going in the net. The light graffiti is positioned in the middle of the picture making the focus the goalie and the ball. I prefer light graffiti rather than street graffiti because it is a unique and legal way of making art, as well as the attention it grabs!

  Street graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. This piece of graffiti shows a face coughing when smoking. Although street graffiti is illegal, this piece of street graffiti is motivational. It shows people what happens when they start smoking, and the result is coughing and discomfort. Street graffiti is not my kind of graffiti because it is illegal. Even though I don't like graffiti, pieces like this makes me amazed.

As said earlier, graffiti is a form of art on property. But if you ask me which I like better, I would have to go with light graffiti because of it being not permanent making it legal. I am a law abiding citizen, so I will choose light graffiti over street graffiti! 

Mashups and Copyright Laws

Example #2 

1. I'm sure this mash-up is trying to communicate by using a comedic parody. They are trying to tell us how copyright laws operate through words from Disney movie clips.

2. Eric Faden did not break copyright laws of Disney. At the end of the video, there was credit given to his colleagues and to Disney's movies. He mentioned all movies used in his production. So this production is not breaking any copyright laws.

3. This question is pretty obvious (Yes). The clips are not produced by the uploader. The clips with video and sound are from Disney and are not made by the uploader. Also the uploader only put the clips together, not the full movie from Disney. So obviously, mash-ups must require copyright permissions.
