To begin tagging in Meez Nation you will need to enter one of the graffiti Roomz.
Hells Kitchen:
Southside Skate Park
Southside Skate Park East
Endless
The Catfish Club
Burbia:
Back End Alley
Dead End Alley
Arcadia:
Vandal's Art Studio

Once you have found a Hood with a vacant spot click on the wall to begin. Graffiti spots will be glowy pink when you mouse over them.

The Toolbar

At the top of the screen is the toolbar. Here you can pick a color, pick a shape, display more shapes, and erase the canvas.

Painting
Now it's time to paint. The middle of your shape will be at the spray bottle's nozzle. All changes occur from this center point. Once you press down on your mouse's Left Button you can being to edit your Shape.

Scaling
To make your shape bigger, move your mouse down. To make it smaller, move your mouse up.

Rotating
While still holding down on the mouse, move it to the Right to rotate your shape Clockwise. Move it to the Left to rotate your shape Counterclockwise.

Opacity
Opacity is how visible something is. If you click on the screen for just a moment you won't be able to see your shape very well. By holding down on your mouse you can make the shape more and more visible depending on how long you hold the button.

Color
While you can only pick Red, Blue, Green and Yellow for your spray can you can mix colors to give you a few more options.
You'll need to pick a starting Color and then paint over it with a Second Color. By playing around with the 2nd Color's Opacity you can achieve different shades.
For Example, starting with Red and then going over it briefly with Blue will give you Purple.

Meez Nation Etiquette
Please try not to spend too long on a wall. A lot of people come and go in the Roomz so it's nice to let each person have a chance if they want.
Remember, your work isn't permanent. Anyone can come on next and erase it, this is just the way it goes.
Profanity, Gang Slogans, or other Rulz violations apply to Meez Nation as well. If you are caught tagging such things, your account may be banned.

Saving your Graffiti
While your work will be removed from the walls you can save it and use it as a Poster in your own, personal Room

To take a screenshot of your graffiti you can either screenshot it before closing the editor, or close the editor and snap a picture of you standing next to it.
You can also spruce it up, or wear it down using an art program.
Here I cut out pieces and added some bolts. I also made it look a bit scratched up. As a Layer Effect in Photoshop I added a drop shadow.
Room Posters seem to be most web image types, like GIF(animated Gifs will not be animated on your wall), PNG,and JPG. I recommend staying with JPG or PNG (if you want something to be transparent).
