Olly Moss Research.

Olly Moss is a fantastic young British designer/illustrator, his self initiated work includes illustrations, graphics, t-shirt designs, posters etc. He uses a wide range of bright eye-catching colours, with such simple designs. His work is incredible and is used widely around the world.


Here is an illustration by Olly Moss called Consumable. It is actually a design for a t-shirt. I couldn't find any information on this image but I think its a really good image I like the humorous design and the use of colour. It is basically a drawing of a Tesco apple juice carton in black and white, with a brightly coloured piece of paper with a face drawn on, which I think is supposed to represent a post-it note, there is also a speech bubble in the same style as the post-it note. I like that there is no text, just one simple image. I would really like to take inspiration from Olly Moss in my own work.



This poster is a design for a film called 'American History' (1998) I really like the simplicity and layout of this poster especially the eye catching cross in the middle of the swastika. The simple use of the colours black white and red, make the poster that little bit more professional and modern. The only problem i have with this poster is the text, although it isn't important text and as in most advertisements the text that isn't important is made less viewable not to take attention away from the main image.
