How powerful can writing on the side of buildings possibly be? I think it can be extremely powerful. It can portray a message that thousands of people can/will see. One of my favorite graffiti phase is the 'Clapton is God' phase that was seen all over the subway walls of England. This catapulted Eric Clapton's popularity, and made him more famous than he thought he would ever be. This is a great example of portraying your message with very limited means. All you needed was spray paint and a face of a building and you could spread the message about this musician. This example of citizen media is astounding because of its simplicity and effectiveness.
