Instead, I think we’d be better-served looking at ancient Greek and Roman examples as something more evocative of the modern concept.Ī 1,800 year-old graffiti drawing found in a quarry near Hadrian’s Wall. While you could point to cave paintings as examples of graffiti, that always felt like a stretch to me. Or at least, as old as the part where we started building and living between walls. Graffiti – or street/wall art – is as old as human civilization. This week, Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones is talking about graffiti - its history, how to paint it, and how you can add realism and color to your terrain by covering it in the spray-painted defiant messages of local gangs. It may not be the sole reason to buy the Nothing Phone 1, but it sure does make it more exciting.In Goonhammer’s How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at how to paint, well… everything. By adding functionality, the Glyph Interface continues to be more than just a gimmick. While neither of these beta features are particularly groundbreaking, and the Flip to Glyph system described above is a variation on features we’ve seen before, it’s great to see Nothing experimenting with the unusual Glyph Interface - not just leaving it alone. Nothing is also testing out a system where the Glyph lights can be tied to particular apps, so you can tell what app is notifying you when the phone is facedown. There’s a hidden Music Visualization mode that does sound quite fun, as the lights flash in time with any music playing. Although these are not final features yet, a pair of fun additions have been discovered by a developer. It appears Nothing isn’t done with the Glyph Interface and what you can do with it. Plus, if the phone is also charging, a quick tap of the back panel shows the charge status, because I already enabled the Charging Meter feature mentioned earlier. It’s the best of both worlds, with almost no effort on my part whatsoever. At home, I can leave the phone face up and still enjoy the Phone 1’s cute, fun, and unique sounds. The Flip to Glyph notification alert is a brief, bright, noticeable flash of light, and I can pick the phone up to see what’s arrived. When I’m out and about, I can place the phone facedown, and it shuts up. It’s a shame when the sounds are so much fun, and Flip to Glyph solves that dilemma. I’m also lazy when it comes to changing this kind of feature for different situations, and won’t bother to adjust the volume depending on my location or environment, I’ll just leave it on silent. However, a noisy phone is pretty antisocial these days, and because the Phone 1’s sound is distinctive and noticeable, it does get more attention than a simple chime. The more I’ve lived with the cool sounds generated by it over the past couple of weeks, the more I want them to remain active. Yes, I want the Nothing Phone 1 to make noise. ![]() And this leads me neatly to my next point. What I like about it most is I can still have the sounds active on the Phone 1 all the time, without messing around with the volume control when I’d rather it be quiet. You can even link certain contacts to certain light patterns, making it even more informative. I rarely want my phone to be completely silent and not do anything at all, and this is the ideal compromise. It reminds me of the Alert Slider on OnePlus phones. ![]() It’s not the first phone to have a silent mode activate when placed facedown, but it is one of the first to still clearly let you know a notification has arrived when it’s like this. With the Flip to Glyph setting activated, it automatically silences the phone when it’s facedown, leaving you to rely on those lights. The Glyph Interface is really just a bigger, flashier version of an LED notification light you’d find on various phones from a few years ago, but is a rarity today. Here’s why hiding the screen is a good idea. You will want to have your Nothing Phone 1 fac down on the table to see its flashing lights, so the more indicators that are available to you here, the better. I’m worried about the red iPhone 15 Pro, and you should be too ![]() This is our very first look at the Nothing Phone 2 ![]() Nothing Phone 2 confirmed to get a major upgrade you can’t see
