Stencil key set - 7 colors

Multicolors stencil key set.

First of all sorry about the bablefish way my french was translated, hope you enjoy anyway.

Ok its time, I bring out my old illustrator files and my stencil key sets of 2001 for this small tutorial.

With final one will obtain a stencil key set of 7 colors divided into 8 parts, for this you will have to provide you with:

- a project of stencil key set (a basic drawing)
- what to digitize the drawing (here simple a camera made the deal)
- Illustrator Adobe (or a vectorial program are equivalent)
- a A4 printer
- high weight paper A4
- a piece of paperboard larger than A4 (will be useful for the bottom of the stencil key set)
- a cutter
- adhesive tape (for the delicate parts to reinforce where to repair)

Optional:
- Photoshop Adobe or simply Paint (for research of colors)
- sprays (to test your set in real life)

notes:
-It is necessary nevertheless to control a minimum the tool plucks illustrator which will be used for vectorise your layout.
-You will notice that the typo used in the stages of the tuto does not correspond to that of the final project on the wall. Normal, my files are old 6 years and I do not have any more the typo at the time used.

Step 1 Step 2 - Drawing the project

If you cannot draw find a logo or a drawing which you like and digitize it:

flem... nice man.... ive done a cople of stenciles myself..... sometimes on big projects, with small bits and island (little bits unconnected to other parts) i use thin wire and a glue gun to hold them in place. heres a link of one i did like that, (its done in just one stencil notmultiple layers for one colour) http://www.flickr.com/photos/egghead_inc/222874515/

i hate taggers, all it is is just a mindless way of saying what turf is yours in somwhere that isn't. and the tags take from what i know about 20 seconds to put up with a graffiti marker. these stencils have atistic class in them unlike the mindless vandalising acts of tags (p.s dont come after me for dissing your whole tagging thing im just saying my opinion it may be diffrent from yours). if you do graffiti fine if you add a tag to your artwork fine if you tag for the hell of it WTF?!?

Strange... i have answer you but my post is not here anymore...

Anyway, i agree with your opinion and i have to mention that i "almost" never(one or tow times) tagged on a wall that was not mine. Having a great tagg and rechearch for it is artistic, tagging it everywhere is more like a sport or a competition... I dont play that at all. (mybe its why my tagg sux...)

Most of grafiti artists arround me are now exposing on art gallery or painting only legal or semi-legal* spots.

• With semi-legal i mean places like abandoned building sites or old factory.

These are beautiful. I'd be happy to see something like this on my wall. Some tags are so crappy. Why do people think writing their name is creative? If they're going to tag at all, they should at least develop something unique or meaningful before subjecting everyone else to it.

[flem]

I think its because its take much more time and reflexion for having something really nice on the street. I know few writers and the creative part is to find a good tag. When on the street is more like a sport or a competition than an artistic time. One more thing to mention is that is take a lot of time in painting multicolors stencil key set. Those 3 sherif was done in a semi-legal spot, not on a train or a police office...
