Kate Moross

Kate Moross is one of my favourite typographers, her work has a really lively and modern feel, and her style is quite similar to mine in that it is quite abstract and there is a lot going on. I really like the piece above, created as an advert for a health and beauty firm, I like the way that she has used negative space to create a stroke around the words that create her picture, and also the way that she has used a black background where most people who make calligram's would use a white or coloured background, this contrasts with the white outline, creating a precise image.

This typography in this piece I think is really interesting, I like it because all of the different layers of colour make it quite diverse. Also I really like the way that the outline around the outside of the image isn't a perfect square but is instead an abstract shape.

This is the piece by Kate Moross that I think is most relevant to this project, because the way that she's used the things that scare people to make up the letters is quite subtle, for example the way she used the tentacle to make the letters s and u in issue as one joined up letter, rather than maybe using two separate objects for each letter. I also like the way that parts of the image are 3D and other parts are 2D
