Smeared Graphic

Smear, or smeared firstly means that something is smudged, or spread about. For example smeared make-up is when its not wear it should be and is all over the face, usually rubbed off, therefore making it look like a mess. Although the first thing the word 'smeared' makes me think of is a smear test where tissue or blood is smeared onto glass so it can be diagnosed under a microscope.
It also describes something being spread everywhere 'its smeared all over the newspaper', in general I don't think smeared is a very pleasant word.
Smeared graphic would mean to me, something graphic, maybe art, text or computer based but spread and blurred, maybe not on purpose, something smeared wouldn't seem to be on purpose, it would look messy. But it could also mean that it is everywhere, say a graphic poster could be all over town hense it would be smeared all over town.
