Westword's annual highly unscientific Best Of 2018 awards were announced, and Denver's street art got some love. Our favorite inclusion was in the Best Place to Instagram in Denver. No surprise to us, it's down in the RiNo arts district where the street art provides even the lamest of people the coolest of backdrops. Ooh, Clarendon or Juno? Nah, let's go #nofilter.

The alt-weekly newsletter actually had three different categories devoted to street art and graffiti in Denver.


Anthony Garcia of Denver's Birdseed Collective painted this mural in the RiNo Art District.

Best New Street Art (Staff pick)

Westword staffers named Anthony Garcia's serape project on the Federal Boulevard bridge

running over 6th Avenue the best new street art in Denver. Garcia is the founder of Birdseed Collective and is a staple of Denver's street art community. You'll know you've seen an Anthony Garcia piece when you see the multi-colored Mexican-blanket style pieces.

Best New Street Art (Reader's pick)

Denver-based artist Anna Charney got Westword readers' nod as Denver's best new street art. Charney was always interested in pattern work but took her urban art to the next level when she interned under Robin Munro, the founder of Denver's street art and graffiti festival CRUSH. Her signature is a series of looping ribbons and dots. We always think they take us in and out of different dimensions.

Best Place to Instagram in Denver (Staff pick)

Westword staffers got specific here. The alley between 2500 and 2900 blocks of Walnut and Larimer streets is apparently the best place to get your Instagram on. We can't disagree, actually. That RiNo alleyway stretch is a cornucopia of everything from underground graffiti to mainstream murals. For the Denver urban explorer, it's worth a trip.


Best Place to Instagram in Denver (Reader's pick)

Westword's readers simply picked RiNo Arts District, which is just a more generalized version of the above. Still, no less good of a place to catch the best in Denver's graffiti and street art.


Best Street Art on a Business

Denver street artist Victor Escobedo's 700-square-foot mural on the side of Level 7 Games on Alameda is certainly an impressive feat. Choosing "the best" of anything in Denver's art scene is a tricky business. This old-school game-character-inspired mural is pretty rad.

Khi lướt qua một số bài viết trên mạng, mình để ý thấy tên bm88.email được nhắc tới nên tiện mở ra xem thử. Mình không tìm hiểu chi tiết mà chỉ xem cách giao diện được trình bày và các khu vực nội dung được bố trí ra sao. Tổng thể nhìn tương đối đơn giản, không quá rối mắt. Sau đó, mình trở lại tiếp tục theo dõi nội dung ban đầu.

JD88 lúc đầu mình cứ nghĩ sẽ giống mấy site mình từng dùng trước đây, mở ra là chữ nghĩa với nút bấm chồng lên nhau nhìn hoa cả mắt, ai dè vào thử thì bố cục lại khá “gọn”, liếc một vòng là định vị được mình đang ở trang nào và phần nào nằm ở đâu. Mình cũng không đào sâu nội dung gì đâu. Chỉ lướt qua giao diện thôi. Cách họ chia thông tin theo từng khối nhìn rõ ràng. Kéo xuống là mỗi phần tách ra mạch lạc. Mấy bảng dạng cột trình bày gọn nên đọc nhanh. Menu để ngay chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển mục cũng lẹ, nhất là kiểu họ nhóm các…

Trước khi tìm hiểu kỹ một nền tảng mình thường dành vài phút xem cách các danh mục được tổ chức. Khi xem https://saoketv1.co/ mình thấy nội dung được chia thành từng khu vực tương đối rõ nên việc theo dõi không quá khó. Những thông tin chính có thể nhận biết khá nhanh ngay cả khi chưa quen với giao diện. Cá nhân mình đánh giá cao cách trình bày đơn giản hơn là đưa quá nhiều chi tiết lên cùng một màn hình. Mình sẽ cần xem thêm để hiểu đầy đủ hơn.

A discussion of following curiosity through everyday information seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. A clear question can turn a casual interest into something easier to explore. It is the kind of question I would keep in mind when thinking about Sepiage Six and Sepiage Six learning ideas. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. How do you decide which detail deserves a closer look before moving on?

The theme of understanding the practical questions behind property choices makes me curious about what people notice in their own everyday experiences. A description becomes easier to assess when practical details are separated from promotional wording. That thought gives me a starting point for exploring property information basics in connection with Sandymaniskasrealtors. A simple comparison would help me picture the differences without rushing towards a fixed answer. What would you ask before deciding whether a place fits a particular need?
