bratz



The typographic style of this word can be considered graffiti. In this case, it connotes gang relation and rebellion. Spray-painted onto a house door, we can also assume it is an act of vandalism. The red paint could connote power, or perhaps a threat to the dweller of the house. It could just be a mark of territory to others in the area, or just a thoughtless prank. The word 'bratz' connotes the same mischief as the marking itself.
