In 2007, while he was still a student at the University of Hertfordshire, Moss began submitting designs to the site, an internet-based T-shirt company that allows the audience to rate submitted designs, and those with the highest ratings are turned into a tee and sold on the site, with a portion of profit going to the creator of the winning design.įor Moss, the immediate feedback and critique on his work, or lack thereof, would determine the next design. That “side line” in poster design has been a mainstay in Moss’ career. “They were like, ‘What can we do with these ?’ And I was like, ‘Well, I have a little side line in posters.’” But because the illustrations were intended for a digital release that would most likely be seen on black-and-white e-reader screens, Pottermore decided that his choice of seven illustrations with only minor element changes to a landscape of Hogwarts wouldn’t be as useful as designs that remained impactful at any size and in both grayscale and full-color. “They felt the closest to what I wanted to do with Harry Potter as a fan,” Moss explains. The approach that was chosen was Moss’s second favorite, leaving his preferred illustrations to disappear on a hard drive of unused work. I loved Harry Potter and I still love Harry Potter so much. “I pitched harder for that than anything I’ve ever pitched in my life. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series, Moss was asked for a single sketch, yet turned in five separate approaches with sketches for each of the seven books. Harry Potter book covers for the official digital release by Olly Mossįor his work with publisher Pottermore Limited on the cover illustrations for the 2015 worldwide digital release of J.K. I will send you a sketch that will take me eight hours to think of and five minutes to do.” They’ve come to me for those reasons, and I want to give them more of that. So I think, what do I want from this job? What do I want to give them? They’ve come to me because they’ve seen my portfolio and all the things I put there because I thought they were good all the client work that I hate is not there. You have the brief, but when you really want the job, you’re so focused on giving what you think they want rather than what they actually want from you, which is you. It frees you from any assumed expectations that you have. In an interview with film and game concept designer Ash Thorp on Thorp’s “ The Collective Podcast,” Moss said, “I love pitching for free. His relationship with clients begins with his sketches. As illustrator and Mondo Gallery art director Rob Jones puts it, “Solutions flit around like butterflies in his head at all times, and he just effortlessly nets one when needed.” Moss is in a unique position for a freelance designer. There’s not really much more to say than that with most of it.” There’s no real deeper meaning, it’s just a thing that I thought was good so I did it. “I think you can look at any piece of work that I’ve done and reverse engineer it, in terms of its intent. When discussing his body of work, Moss is quick to brush off its depth. For every Batman or Star Wars project in his portfolio, design work for a small indie film or a logo peeks in.
