There is also a short historical overview of graffiti from all over the world and Croatia. After two poems about graffiti there are a few graffiti from Slavonski Brod, Croatia and from all over the world presented through interesting exercises. Those graffiti have been found on the walls in Slavonski Brod and in various graffii collections and anthologies. The material about graffiti in Slavonski Brod was collected by the students of Matija Mesić General Programme Secondary School in Slavonski Brod from 2003 to 2013 and presented to the public at the exhibition of the Brod textual graffiti from 2003 to 2013 in the City Library in Slavonski Brod during the Croatian Book Month in 2013.
