'Good Omens' Production Designer on How the Record Shop Came to Life
The Big Picture Good Omens officially returned for Season 2 at the end of July, catching viewers back up with Aziraphale and Crowley as they solve a heavenly new mystery. Though time has passed within the series, many of its settings remain the familiar locations from Season 1, such as Aziraphale's memorable bookshop. Season 2 also placed some focus on new spots in town, including a record shop owned by Maggie .
During an interview with Collider's Maggie Boccella, Good Omens production designer Michael Ralph gave some insight on how he and his team crafted the interior of the record shop. Ralph shared that one of his main goals in creating the shop was ending with something that was colorful and detailed. He wanted to capture a more retro look and feeling, turning to the design of real shops and other imagery to offer a solid starting point.
Once Ralph knew broadly what he wanted from the record shop, he gave Micaela Ralph, the lead graphics designer, essentially free rein to fill the interior, saying, "Okay, this is your world. What can you do with it?" Her hard work paid off, as the shop within the show is jam-packed with records, posters, and other memorabilia that created an authentic and fitting setting for Maggie.
"Goodness me, if you could just get into some of those album covers and read some of those songs, it is hilarious, and they all followed weird themes. Then I gave it to the graphics department to dress. So, they actually came down off their tables and desks and went in there and had a hoop and holler in there for two or three days and papered up all of their made-up graphics posters and events and record covers. It was such great fun.
