To announce the launch of an [exclusive limited-edition shoe line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stepn-go-x-adidas-ultraboost), [basketball player Dwayne Wade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draftkings-artist-series) didn't just put up a graffiti mural, he commissions a moving graffiti GIF. [British street artist INSA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-north-america) wanted to make something that wouldn't just last a few weeks on the side of a wall, but would last forever on the Internet.

Making a graffiti GIF is a painstaking process. The graffiti GIF says "MAKE YOUR OWN WAY" in flashing red and white stripes with a flashing black and white-striped background.

Artist INSA had to first paint the wall with the image, then take a picture of it and then redo the whole thing over again with the stripes in a slightly different place. This whole process had to be done and redone several times to make the graffiti GIF smooth and seamless.
