DONDI WHITE
The film ‘Rash’ which was viewed in class is a short yet in depth realization to the works of the underground Graffiti movement and its significant role it plays in the world today. Graffiti of all types, stretching from tags to outstanding masterpieces pushed into the public’s eye, is known to evoke negative opinion as well as in most cases break the law however it still continues, if not increasing in popularity. Dondi White, a respected and influential Graffiti artist is 
one in which is remembered for his inspiring contribution and dedication to the subculture bounded by rebellion and often misinterpreted talent.
Dondi was born in 1961 on April 7 in Manhattan, New York. He was the youngest of five sons of Italian and African-American parents, and was raised in the mostly white East New York section of Brooklyn. Dondi’s parents were very religios and his Catholic school upbringing would later resurface in his artwork. Religious imagery and terms, such as “Anno Domini,” were prevalent in his work and his
nickname as Dondi.
As a creative child, graffiti writer Dondi White came up in the 1970s, plastering his name and many nick names on many local subway trains. His work and personality stood out in the culture, as it was strong, bold, colourful and most importantly it was storytelling. As the Transit Authority eliminated graffiti writing from its trains, White became one of many graffitists who began to work aboveground. Graffiti-based art was at the heart of New York’s art scene in the 1980s and White began to put his work
on canvas and exhibited it in art galleries.
Dondi died on October 2nd, 1998.
“I never had to compromise myself, It was always me, doing what was comfortable, and relaying the message that I didn’t have to be taught to be creative and do good things.”

Cradle to cradle strategies began with its inventors, the german chemist, Michael Braungart, and william Mcdonough. There newly found method of becoming ecologically minded has paved the way for the new meaning of being ecologically friendly. There original design methods are based around the idea that "Waste equals food". This has caused them to help the industrial world create products that are completely bio degradable, that will mean the maintaining coexistence of the earth and its humans.
tely biodegradable and can return to the earth's soil or be completely recyclable. One major beneficial factor is that by businesses using this method of design, they are able save potentially a lot of money. Another example of the MBDC's product engineering is in an ice cream container that maintains its structure while in the cold, though when finished with it breaks down within a couple of hours to a nutrient for the soil, also a they have helped design a nearly fully degradable office chair.
These two men have helped pave the way for a new way of thinking thanks to their push for a better future.
