cheers. Still got that to do anyway.
On the Spray paint issue (which is what started all this). I don't see how using sudo paint drips is any different or worse to using say, a handwriting font, creating stressed graphics or using a wood texture on a site. They are all used to create an atmosphere, and therefore are not essentially supposed to be exact representations.
If you Argue that spray paint drips are essential dishonest, you should take an equally hard stance towards, say, pre stressed denim, fashion work shirts, a bar that plays on the fact it used to be two old shops or anything that uses style to create a feeling when that object itself, has been created for a different purpose.

but these wood effects etc. are used to create the effect of being 'designed' like the sites/places they originated on.

But isn't that equally as offensive?
Paint drips are used as part of visual language representing an atmosphere and a genre. I have to take into consideration an entire campaign, as well as the style of the show, the target audience. The audience in general will not be graffiti experts, they are a 'lifestyle' audience, who will understand the style of show. Paint drips along with distressed graphics say, rebellious, anarchic, extreme. I'm not keen of the plundering of the arts so that big business can try and portray itself as something else in order to hoodwink people into buying into this fantasy, but that's advertising.

I am not taking sides here. But there might be other ways to acheive that visual language rather than resorting to cliche's.
You arn't forced to use that god awfull 'comic sans' just 'cause you aiming the work at children.

What does that site or show have anything to do with paint drips?
Graffiti and spray paint are hip hop.
Paint drips are out of control
