Fantastic! The book itself is beautifully designed (no surprise there) and it gets the place of honor on the top of the stack of coffee table books. As a graphic designer I loved the extra details provided about the process behind each prop, the materials used, and fun anecdotes about working on a film set.

Super interesting learning about meticulous process of creating props for films. Gave me a greater appreciation for everything on screen that we barely/ don't see at all but hours of work still go into it.

Annie Atkins has been the graphic artist and graphic prop designer for the TV series The Tudors, the movie Bridge Of Spies, as well as several Wes Anderson movies.
What is a graphic prop? Pretty much any item on a set that has writing in or on it. Need a London street business signage from the 1880s? Or the correct price on a sign advertising haircuts in 1950s New York? (it's $1.50 btw) Need a stack of newspapers (The Trans-Alpine Yodel -- Two Daily Editions!) from the fictional country of Zumbrowka carried by a busboy to the equally fictitious Grand Budapest Hotel? And then there's the hotel stationery and logo, competing hotel logos, and... Well, that's why you need a good graphic prop designer.
This was a beautiful read, with loads of pictures attractively arranged on the page (if you have never heard of knolling, well, here you go and you can thank me later)

I love movie props in general but these ones in particular are very ~aesthetique~
