Territories of authors/taggers were revealed by transposing these subjects to the map,. Often these were very local, covering just one or two streets. Sometimes, they traveled further afield. Information about the specific demographics of an area can also be revealed in such mapping, By further defining the categories by colour it is possible to get a very quick visual picture of the make up of a road in terms of whether the authors are full of hate, or love, or obsessed with sex. For example, there was also a concentration of left wing political graffiti to the south of New Basford, an area that has a mixed population, but a substantial proportion of alternative, left wing, politically active residents.
