Wall it up!

It is the time again. 2016 Bidhansabha elections of West Bengal is about to commence soon and political parties have put up their slogans and symbols on every corners to woo the voters. The tradition of writing in the wall often irks private property owners, but virtually they have very little power to oppose to this.

 In the past political campaigning meant witty humorous limericks, often laced with satire on the boundary walls, store shutters. While strolling in the neighborhood,  this year I saw mostly symbols of the parties and the name of the contestants.
Some of the lettering were simple...others had a bit more dimension to create certain dramatic effect.
I also noticed that there was virtually no campaigning for Communist Party of India, which once ruled the state for long 34 years.

Here in this photoblog I present some of the sample lettering. This account, by no means is to spread any kind of favor to anyone!

Simple lettering accentuated with offset, shadow effects

An addition of spray painting on top of black added a contrast

This lettering looked different- one of them depicts a worn out wall, another shows a shattered wall as if a bullet went through. If you zoom up and notice carefully, you can spot grass flowers springing out from the shattered wall!!!
