                                                                      Kate Moross

Kate Moross is an English graphical designer, illustrator and art director who is mainly based in London. Moross studied at South Hampstead high school, Wimbledon school of art and achieved a ba at the Camberwell school of art. Not much else is known about her personal life as she has kept private but a lot is known about her working life.

Her designs are recognised all over the country working for big companies like cadburys and ford to promote there main products at the time. She has also worked for social media companies such as Skype and newspapers like the guardian. Her art style is also shown in her clothing and hair styles which is typically brash unique and a explosion of colour. 

My favourite image that she has done is the 4th image on the list that i have put on this blog. I really love the way that the colours have all been used to make this image standout. The different kinds of fonts for the words are all really cool looking and if you have a good eye you could notice the way the style changes depending on the word. For example dancing is swirly and shaky to match the quick movements that dancing requires. Also the text style stands out as it is usually bold, big and colourful so that it can really catch the eye of people who see and add a sense of positivity. 

To do this great work of art takes a lot of time and effort. To start with she hand draws the entire image in order to get a idea of what she wants the final image to be. Once she has made her decision she scans the image into photoshop in order to point out some issues and make the necessary adjustments. Finally Kate uses illustrator to add colour to it and give it that well known Kate Moss style touch. 

The images below are more examples of Kate Moross work the bottom picture is the one that i have chosen as my favourite image that i have seen her do.

Task 3 news websites

1. Daily Mail: The Daily Mail website contains news stories of multiple different topics. There is political news stories, entertainment, sport, food, motoring and many more. The majority of the articles are serious headlines reporting over major incidents around the world or news stories that may seem positive but include a dark tone. They also cover a lot of fashion and celebrity news giving news on what clothes they are wearing and what they are up to. In terms of the way the website is laid out you have the traditional daily mail logo at the top but the rest of the website feels like a proper website with loads of different articles spread along the middle of the site. On the side of the website their is a section that has articles for celebrity,fashion and news stories. Just below the logo is a links block that you can click to choose what news topic you want. The websites colours is white, black and blue the background is dominated by white to represent the seriousness of the companies typical news story the blue represents the links you click to the articles and the black is the colour of the text. The titles are all big and bold while the text is small and lower case. The articles all mostly have images above them that are actually different to the ones you would see on the news paper as it is their way of separating the 2. The links the website uses will take you to the various different topics and the news stories themselves. The website is promoted mainly on television as whenever their is a newspaper ad from the daily mail they will always end with visit mail online, the other main way is through social media mostly from twitter through each tweet they leave a link that will take you to the mail online website. The website often promotes gifts and special endorsements that you can only get by buying the newspaper and taking the vouchers from it. Also there is some articles that will say at the end to find out more buy the newspaper. 

The Guardian: The guardian is a website that just like the Daily Mail contains many news stories of many different topics. All the typical topics are covered politics, sport, food, motoring and breaking news. The majority of the news stories are serious and told in a formal manner but there are some articles that are written in a way that feels like they are talking directly to the reader. The most popular content on the website is opinion articles with celebrities and journalists giving there opinion on the latest news stories whether its politics or sports. The website for the most part is laid out in a traditional format for a newspaper website with there being a advert at the top of the paper and then a bar below the advert giving you a selection of topics to choose from. On the right hand side of the website is the Guardian logo. On the left hand side there is the weather report for the current day and just above various options for those who have a guardian account. The news stories are all laid out in blocks. The news story blocks have been broken down into multiple different sections including the opinion section, Headlines section, sport, around the uk and around the world. The main colour scheme for the website is blue and white with the overall colour being blue and the background white. The text colour is blue and black giving a overall formal feel. The website is promoted through television and online to attract audiences and potential new regulars. The website often promotes gifts and special offers if you sign up on there website and also for getting there newspaper. They regularly use twitter to promote the guardian. 

The new York Times: The New York Times website is the most unique out of the 3 newspaper websites for a variety of reasons. Just like the other 2 websites the lay out is similar in that the newspaper name is at the top and there is a bar below with all the different topics covered. The most recent news stories are all shown available below as well just like the other papers. What stands this apart from the other 2 is first of all the amount of adverts used there is many more adverts popping up on the website than there is the other 2 there is 2 adverts either side of the top and then there is more adverts as you scroll down the website. Also the colour scheme is completely black and white to give a similar feel to that of the official newspaper they sell. To bring even further similarities to there paper they even have laid out the news stories and the shape of the articles blocks to fit that of how there newspaper is laid out. Another unique area is the way certain areas are worded they are worded in a informal way with slang used throughout to give a more casual and relaxed feeling. There is a section called NY times video that allows you to watch there video of the day which could be a interview or news story also there is inside NY times which covers books,opinion and a Sunday book review. The website is promoted heavily on twitter and various other websites online as well as news shows like the BBC news. There doesn't seem to be too many benefits to buying the paper as the new York times these days makes there best business digitally on there website.

My ideal job role

The job that i would like to do someday is to be a gaming journalist working for a company such as playstation magazine or even big world wide brands like game spot and ign. I have a big passion for gaming and devote the majority of my time to looking at games and playing games it has been a big passion of mine since i was just 3 years old. As a gaming journalist i would be reporting on the latest gaming news,creating blogs giving my opinions on games and various gaming related stories,reviewing games,previewing games and also undertaking interviews with developers. To do this job i would need good english and to be able to use creative writing. A degree in journalism would be a big help in opening the door to a career in this field. The reason i would like to work for companies such as official playstation or ign/game spot is because these are big brands that are able to allow journalists involved to get big opportunities to give there opinions on games to a wider audience as these companies are massive brands that are global.
