That's very nice indeed.

Nice works Harkers....Like the titles. Cheers.

Hello boys and girls,

Here is my design for the Octopussy poster. Given the gap between designing the last poster and this one, you might have guessed that I had no ideas for Octopussy.

In the end, I made use of this background which I had lying around from a discarded Live And Let Die design. I lifted the image of Roger Moore from the Octopussy teaser poster, which is kind of cheating but there are very few good photos of the great man from that movie so what can you do?

Throw in a couple of effects and Bob's your uncle. Hope you like it!

Those are nice effects in the background. Very eye-stimulating

[O.H.M.S.S.]

Good work Owain, I'd say it's one of your best, worth the waiting.

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

How do you do!

This is a brand new design for The Spy Who Loved Me to replace the old one. The original one I did had been bugging me for a while until I decided I should just start all over again.

The stark black and white, the car and the typeface all add up to a nice period feel. In fact, it almost looks like a vintage advertisement.

I'm very happy with this, but there's one more poster in this series which I need to re-do. What do you think?

Nice posters, Henry-Jones-Sr.

[O.H.M.S.S.]

I think your new TSWLM poster is even better then the old one. Saying that I don't think you have to restart on your other posters. I like them all, I'm looking forward to your future work. (Hope you do NSNA and CR'67 afterwards, I'm a completitst. )

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

Thanks fellas. I promise that there's only one more I have to re-do. I'm working on it now and have already rejected my new design. I wonder if I'll ever be happy with it? I have another design up my sleeve, though. Maybe when I get to the end of the series I'll post all my unused designs. There's three Live And Let Die posters, for example.

As for 'the other two', I will have a crack at Never Say Never Again, but I wouldn't even touch Casino Royale with yours, pal! I simply don't consider it a Bond movie in any way, shape or form - not even remotely.

Sorry!

Here is a brand new poster design for The Man With The Golden Gun. I decided I didn't like the old design I did - it didn't look much like a movie poster - so I have replaced it with this new one which I think is much better.

Like the previous one, I couldn't find a way to add Roger Moore without spoiling the impact of Christopher Lee, so once again I have reluctantly left him out.

Hope you like it!

Good work, I like how you focus on Christopher Lee, a villain so memorable as Scaramanga should indeed be in the picture.

Here's my poster design for A View To A Kill. There's something terribly 80s about grey, red and white, so it's a good thing this Rog flick came out in 1985, otherwise I'd be in a stylistic quagmire.

On to the T-Dalt, then.

Ah, great to see you back, Henry-Jones-Sr. Great poster as usual.

Disused book title mock up

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

Morning chaps!

I decided that my poster for A View To A Kill just didn't cut it, so I've designed another one. I liked the landmark idea to give the poster an identity but I didn't think the Golden Gate Bridge worked very well, so I've gone for the Eiffel Tower instead. The colours, the typeface, and the placement of good old Rog works very nicely, and I'm much, much happier with this design.

And now, finally, I can take Timothy Dalton out for a spin.

UPDATE!

I just performed some minor tinkering on the colours to make it a little more appropriate, so please take another look.

I liked the one with the Golden Gate very much, but this one's even better!

[Matt_13]

As usual, the fan art continues to blow the real thing out of the water. Excellent work everyone

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

Cool!

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

I have to say, though, that the original posters for A View To A Kill are among my all time favourites, Bond or otherwise. I presume, Matt, you were referring to the state of modern movie posters which are, by and large, atrocious.

The worst Bond poster, and there have been quite a few to choose from lately, has to be Tomorrow Never Dies - the one with the grey TV screens in the background. It's useless! I remember seeing that for the first time and being shocked.

What about you guys?

[O.H.M.S.S.]

Although I'm a fan of the movie Licence to Kill, I think the poster design is pretty bad. I did like the one for Die Another Day with the smoking, silenced gun in the melting ice.

Hello again. For those that have already seen it, I just made some minor adjustments to the A View To A Kill poster above. Ch-ch-check it out!

Nicely done. For the Eiffel Tower version, I think the font used for the movie title works better & Bond integrates well in that space under the tower. That being said, I liked the Golden Gate version too.

Can you keep a Secret?


If a teardrop held a secret
and it fell upon the ground
it would soak into the earth
and wait there to be found

and when you find that secret, you become it's lover.
You can never let it leave your heart
You can never tell another

But when a man knows a secret
and it burns upon his skin
he must tell it he must sell it
he must purge himself of sin

and when you keep that secret, you become it's slave.
You can never tell another soul
You must take it to the grave
