Graphic designer for Wes Anderson
16:02
After researching The Grand Budapest Hotel's trademark and set design I found this interview with Annie Atkins, one of the graphic designers on the film set.
It made me realise how much effort goes into films, half of which may only be seen for a few seconds, the idea of making an authentic set for actors and directors is something I'd never considered.
Things like the fact Wes Anderson wrote every single newspaper story for three entirely different newspapers to feature in the film despite many of them being directly in the shot or not, and stamps on letters which were not illegible from the distance they were filmed at, but were there to maintain a level of authenticity.
Graphic designers are in charge of everything which I wouldn't even consider being graphic design, like the different keys above.
