Kate Moross

Kate Moross is a designer and illustrator who is based in London. She is only 24 but has already worked with the likes of Cadburys on a nationwide billboard campaign, and had her own signature clothes line in Topshop. She is quoted on her website as saying " I have a fascination with three sided shapes, illegible typography, and freeform lettering". 
Looking at some examples of her work i would have to agree. As you can see it has a very fun, young and modern feel to it, stemming from the extremely vibrant colour scheme. This, to an extent, is very similar to the two previous deigners as i get a similar feel from the pieces Kate produces.
As you can see from the examples, she uses a lot of geometric shapes used mainly as a backing for some twisted, distroted, hand drawn typography. She generally uses flat plains of block colour.
She was named in NME's list of the 50 future innovators pushing music forward, and had collaborated with artist such as Simian Mobile Disco and Mystery Jets.
The way she plays with the typographic elements of her designs is very interesting. Often twisted or warped, she regularly uses a very thick black outline or border to maintain that childish feel.
