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.
