"As a production designer, you have to be able to fight for what you want, but you also have to know how to compromise without hurting the film- you can’t do everything. The main thing is that you have respect and a good relationship with the director and/or the producer, so you’ve got some muscle there and maybe you can get a little more money!"

In the art department, graphic designers are constantly creating new logos for fake companies. Although the companies are fake and made only for the screen it is still very important that we convey a fake company’s ‘identity’ in order to continue telling the story and suspending the disbelief of our intended audience. A bad logo can completely take you out of a movie in an instant.
Utilizing a silent vocabulary of colors, shapes, and typography, logo designers give a visual identity to companies and organizations of all types. From cave painters to modern designers, artists throughout history have been reducing the complex down to simple ideas that communicate with the world.

"I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. There was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people’s eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles of it, on the night side of earth."
