Background and early life
Moss graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2008 having studied literature.[5] Moss is a regular guest on the IGN UK[6] and A Life Well Wasted[7] podcasts. His illustration work began as a hobby, but showing his work on the internet led to commissions and helped him to make his way through University creating popular T-shirt designs on Threadless. He initially wanted to pursue a career in advertising but ended up enjoying graphic design and illustration.
He was commissioned by Marvel Entertainment executives Craig Kyle and Kevin Feige to create a poster for the cast of Thor.[2] Other notable works include the cover artwork for the Resistance 3 video game,[3] which prompted a trailer to be created in similar style and work for Sony’s rebooted The Amazing Spider Man.[4] He also did the book covers for the first digital copies of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. In February 2012, Moss designed a poster for The Oscars, it featured 85 Oscars statues, each themed after each year's Best Picture winner.
Campo Santo and Firewatch
In September 2013, Moss and Mark of the Ninja lead designer Nels Anderson joined with former Telltale Games employees Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman to found Campo Santo.[8] Moss worked closely on the design and was art director for the studio’s first release, Firewatch. Inspired by the iconic style of the 1960s National Park posters, Firewatch echoes Moss’s graphic style. Moss was responsible for the game’s color and lighting scheme and handled all of the environment design language, he also created various logos and designs for the props in Firewatch.
This critically acclaimed game is known for its iconic art style, a translation of Moss’s 2D style to a 3D environment.
“A lot of videogames look videogamey because designers are told, ‘We can’t do this, we can’t do that.’ You pigeonhole yourself into a certain look,” Campo Santo’s Lead Environment Artist, Jane Ng, said. “Part of the reason we have a fresh look is because Olly is not limited by what he thinks is possible.”
Since its release, Firewatch has been nominated for dozens of awards and it is getting a film adaptation.
