Visual Research: Colour – Art by Olly Moss

This piece was made for “A Life Well Wasted” a podcast discussing the video game industry. This piece is based off the iconic first stage in Sonic. In this Illustration, the artist playfully uses muted but expressive colours to convey a tone of 90’s childhood nostalgia. Something that stands out to me is that the word “work” is used as the colour palette of the piece, the artist never strays far from the pure colours they used in the title. Though arguably it might be more of a shape element, I love the yellow “O” becoming the rings from foreground to background. I think the main thing I’d like to take away from this poster is the use of a limited and attractive colour palette.
