Olly Moss

T-Shirt Design Project

In many of our projects, we are given several artists to look at to help us generate ideas. One of the many artists that continue to influence my work is Olly Moss, a British graphic designer. His work has been helpful to analyse and has helped the development of my work in several projects to date. Olly Moss' main focus for his work is producing film, game and book related poster re-imaginings.

I admire most of the work he creates and I find his use of silhouettes very interesting, as he often uses them in conjunction with one another to create larger images. These pieces of work greatly fit in with the t-shirt project amongst others, as the style they use is ideal for t-shirt design. Many of his posters are created using screen printing techniques and it appears to be his favoured method for creating his artwork.

 His style is easy to recognise amongst other art works and has a unique appearance. His work has inspired much of my work and will continue to for future projects, both professional and casual.
