Annie Atkins

Annie Atkins is a graphic designer best known for her work in the film industry, creating paper ephemera for Oscar-nominated and award-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 recent family films such as Chicken Run and Indiana Jones. Her first book, Fake Love Letters, 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, is available for pre-order now.
