What is a Production Designer?

Production Designers are the professionals in charge of the set, props, wardrobe, makeup and hair for a film production. They work closely with the director, cinematographer, and producer to help tell the story visually. This site includes a vast collection from numerous designers.

“Production design, in effect, is the management of the look of a film.”
— John DeCuir, Jr. (Award-winning Production Designer)
