Make Your Mark
Make Your Mark
Inhoud
Make Your Mark is a creative journey where you learn by doing. You start with a simple mark and build it into something that has meaning.
Across four modules, you’ll explore drawing, lettering, and visual style step by step. You’ll mess around with marks, rhythm, and repetition, then develop flow, confidence, and your own way of working. There’s no “right” style here > the focus is on experimenting, trying things out, and seeing what happens.
As you move through the course, it’s not just about how your work looks, but what it means. You’ll turn words and ideas into messages, thinking about who they’re for and where they might live. You’ll see how scale, placement, and typography can completely change how a message feels in public space.
In the final module, you bring it all together using Virtual Reality. You’ll take your sketches into VR, create immersive pieces, and place your work in a shared digital gallery. It’s a safe space to try big ideas, make mistakes, and see your work come to life.
By the end, you won’t just have learned techniques or software. You’ll have the confidence to express yourself, the skills to communicate visually, and the experience of turning ideas into work that others can see, feel, and respond to.
This is about finding your voice and giving it space to be seen.

We start the Style & flow > by looking at the 'Kings of Style' exploring how graffiti evolved through writers who pushed lettering beyond names and into culture. You will look at how style developed through key figures such as Phase 2, whose bubble letters and zine culture expanded what graffiti could look like; Dondi, whose mastery of wild style raised lettering to a new level of complexity; and Futura, who broke rules entirely by pushing tags into abstraction.
You will begin by revisiting your original tag, using it as raw material rather than a finished idea. Through tracing, remixing, and free sketching, you will stretch, tilt, overlap, and connect letters in new ways. The focus is on loosening up, experimenting, and discovering how flow emerges through movement and repetition.
You will explore two directions in parallel: one version that stays readable but evolved, and one that goes fully wild — expressive, exaggerated, and rule-breaking. Style sheets and video tutorials act as guides, not limits. You are encouraged to pause, experiment, break things, and try again as you develop your own visual rhythm.

To earn the Style badge, you will build on your original tag by exploring how lettering can be pushed, stretched, and transformed through style writing.
You will start by tracing your original tag and creating several remixed versions. From there, you will develop two clear outcomes:
- One evolved version of your tag that remains readable but shows growth in flow and structure
- One wild style version that exaggerates form, breaks rules, and prioritises expression over clarity
You will support this process by watching short tutorials on throw-ups and wild style lettering, keeping your sketchbook open as you work. Pause the videos, try techniques, twist letters, connect forms, and experiment with layering and movement.
To complete the task, upload three photos showing:
- Early sketches or traced studies
- A remixed, evolved version of your tag
- Your wildest, most expressive style version
Alongside the images, include a short reflection responding to:
“What changed when I pushed my tag into wild style?”
This task demonstrates your ability to experiment, take creative risks, and develop flow laying the groundwork for the next stage, where style becomes message.
