Ross Macdonald shares colorful stories about making props for the movie industry.
“People have gone from not really caring if a prop is period accurate to wanting it to be dead-on,” says MacDonald. That means even more painstaking work for the prop designer, illustrator and typographer whose knowledge of typesetting and keen attention to detail have made him Hollywood’s go-to for graphic props: posters, passports, magazines and maps.
MacDonald has crafted mop patents for 'Joy', morgue toe tags for Cinemax’s The Knick, the Red Apple tobacco tin for Quentin Tarantino’s 'The Hateful Eight' and passports and business cards for HBO’s 'Boardwalk Empire'.
