A behind-the-scenes look at the extraordinary and meticulous design of graphic objects for film
sets Although graphic props such as invitations letters tickets and packaging are
rarely seen close-up by a cinema audience they are designed in painstaking detail.
Dublin-based designer Annie Atkins invites readers into the creative process behind her
intricately designed rigorously researched and visually stunning graphic props. These objects
may be given just a fleeting moment of screen time but their authenticity is vital and their
role is crucial: to nudge both the actors on set and the audience just that much further into
the fictional world of the film.
