Annie Atkins

Annie Atkins is a graphic designer best known for her work in the film industry, creating graphic props and paper ephemera for Oscar-winning films including Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs and The French Dispatch, Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies and West Side Story, and family favourites such as Chicken Run and Indiana Jones. Her first book, Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps, prompted Jeff Goldblum to write that “Annie makes the unreal seem hyperreal, and the real more supremely alive and utterly magical”. Her second book, Letters from the North Pole, was shortlisted for the British Book Awards, and her next book, Cackle Crackle: Letters from the Witch, is available for pre-order now.
