Kate Moross is a graphic designer and artist based in London, England. She has created her studio, Studio Moross, which creates art and designs for brands all over the country. The studio and its artists have helped artists like One direction, the Spice Girls and Sam Smith with different projects over the years. Studio Moross prides themselves on collaboration and the ideas and work that all of the artists brainstorm and create together. They use experimental methods in order to solve problems and create work that they are tasked with. The studio was built from Kate’s passion for working with others to create amazing work.
Kate and her team use their talents to create amazing designs for brands. As an artist Kate uses her talents through moving imagery, typography, and illustration which she creates for many different reasons. One of her pieces that stuck out to me the most was part of a campaign she did with Kiehl’s. Kiehl’s is a cosmetic brand based out of the united states that Moross worked with in 2015.
I was attracted to this design because i created something similar in my design class first semester. The washed colors that she used for the over all coloring reminds me of a water color painting. The typography that she used for the word “rocks” was interesting and attention grabbing because it reminds me of dog bones, which would have nothing to do with a skin care company. I think that overall the creation behind this piece is amazing and turned out beautifully.
I also greatly admired the work that the Studio Moross team published with the alphabet of video games. While I would not categorize myself as a “gamer” I believe that Kate’s work with typography is exceptionally amazing and attention grabbing. The incorporation of design into the typography was specifically compelling to me when looking through her work.
The attraction that I have to Kate and her studio is similar to a role model. While she is a phenomenal artist in my opinion, I also greatly admire her work ethic and strength as a woman. Graphic design is a work field made up of a majority of men like most industries today. I believe that she has worked her hardest to create a positive image for bother herself and her company through everything they produce. She has grown from a small company to one that artists and larger companies rely on to produce amazing work and art for their brand. Kate Moross is one of the most influential designers that I have read about.
