What was your specific role in the Harry Potter art department?
As Assistant Graphic Designer, it was my job to help Mira and Eduardo with a huge variety of tasks. This could be anything from aging a stack of Daily Prophets to designing a series of intricate labels for Dumbledore’s memory vials, or rushing a particular graphic prop down to the set. The Art Department, as a whole, was a very inspiring environment in which to be immersed and it was a great privilege to work alongside such talented and creative people.
Over the years, what were some of your favorite designs and why?
The Weasley shop was an unbelievable visual feast for the eyes. It was so much fun to be part of the graphics team, designing the hundreds of products that lined the three stories of shelves and stands. For me, however, the beautifully finished book, “The Tales of Beedle the Bard,” is a particular favourite. With its fully illustrated pages and cloth binding, it reflects the immense amount of detail that went into creating so many of the props.
