Olly Moss - Games and Bad guys

The villain silhouette target boards are also quite witty, he uses the shapes of iconic villains like, Darth Vader, a Space Invader, Greedo, Godzilla, a Goomba, Freddy Krueger etc ... they are all pretty much easily identifiable to any fun loving nerd and set out like an actual target sheet they look pretty good.

Just like the rest of his work Olly Moss is able to capture the essence of the games in one image, he uses the common denominator, the one aspect fans would come to associate with and recognize in an instant. With the game covers he Uses the crowbar, the base tool in Half-Life and the colour orange which is also common within the game. The GTA piece has the star levels which show the characters wanted rating, on an American flag, as the games are nearly all set in America. They are also styled like Penguin classic covers, this is relevant as they can all be considered icons of the game industry and their different genres.
