Work by Olly Moss

This is a great piece of work by Olly Moss a young graphic designer that every one seems to enjoy for the creative witty concepts behind his work I would also advise following him on twitter he seems to all ways be uploading work or have something interesting to say. A lot of his designs look to take inspiration from the work of the American graphic designer and movie title animator Saul Bass.

Swiss Style Typography

I stumbled upon this while doing some research for a historical studies project at university and instantly loved it. Its an amazing piece of typography, I don't know much about it and there doesn't seen to be anything I can find but it was titled 'Basic Typography – Ruedi Rüegg/Godi Fröhlich 1972' I just thought I would have to share it.

Cinematic

For my First new brief of 2011 i had to design and produce a poster to advertise a film festival, the choices that i was given were Road to nowhere - a celebration of the Road Movie, Cinema from the edge - a celebration of Art House Cinema and Noir - a celebration of Film Noir. I chose to do the Noir poster because in my research of the genres I like Film Noir a lot more, I felt it had much more to it I thought that the use of light and smoke to make things feel mysterious was interesting too. In this project I had to design a grid to make the layout of my poster and explain why I had chosen it and why. The poster also had to include a limited edition aspect I chose to base it around the aspect that the it had been 65 years of the term 'Film Noir'.
