Daniel_Craig, that is a fantastic poster! I can't believe the 'official' poster we've had to put up with when they could have produced something like this!

I want MORE! DO another one!

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

It is with a heavy heart that I feel I must chime in and say that the most recent fan posters that have been put up here are no better than the official posters. I appreciate the work, effort, and love that goes into them, but in the end they are just photos with some text underneath. They don't look like movie posters. At all.

Sorry, guys. I really am not trying to be mean, just offering an honest opinion.

[marktmurphy]

Yeah, I think we can praise fans' efforts without bashing the official versions. Which are professional jobs, and the lying-down quad is a striking, simple, dynamic and effective image. Bond sullenly looking down at his empty gun in a variety of hairstyles isn't as exciting. Sorry.

This official one, no design, not eye catching....James Bond 50 years..a new Bond poster....what the hell!

I think I should point out, to put my previous post into context, that the recent Skyfall posters are among the worst of the entire series. They look like leaflets for tuxedo hire shops.

I think most people on this forum would agree with you.

I flicked through my James Bond poster book and can safely say they rank as the worst in the series. No imagination, no creativity. Daniel Craig is standing stiffly and staring coldly ahead, in his tuxedo which you rightly observed looks like it's being modelled for a shop. The poster of Bond lying prone pointing his gun is a nice idea but it's so naff-ly executed.

This is the 50th anniversary for crying out loud.

I have to disagree to some extent. While we do have a tendency to overpraise fan-made things around here as a means of putting down bad "official" images, I honestly would take several of the works found in this thread over the two posters that we've seen over the past couple of days for Skyfall. Both of them are exactly what you say, photos with text underneath them (or in the case of the one with Bond trying to literally shoot himself in the foot, above the photo), and both of them look like rather mediocre fan art.

"This certainly gives you a new slant."
Amazing, DABOY, how you made the same image so much more interesting.

[PeteNeon]

I think Daboy's "think on your sins" and Union Jack posters, and Daniel_Craig's most recent one certainly give the official ones we've seen so far a run for their money.

I don't know why Empire gets the great Craig image they used on their cover, while the character poster gets the dud one. Hopefully the theatrical poster will have a completely different style.

[Daniel_Craig]

Thank you, guys. Glad you like my poster.

The work of Daboy I liked very well. His version of the U.S. poster has something special. By the skew and the swirling sand more momentum coming into the picture.

[Daniel_Craig]

Sometimes dreams come true. My dream was that Adele will sing the theme song. I have added to the credits of this poster. The work is a bit older. Have designed it in late May.



Enjoy

Fantastic! I seem to recall seeing your work on Twitter too, posting under the name Daniel V, is that correct?

You´re welcome, PPK_19!

Yes. I´m posting under the name Daniel V. on Twitter.

I think the angle rather kills the starkness of the original. And the crop eliminates the gun: it's perfectly horizontal in the original- you can't even see it in that version.

Very nice.

[Iceskater101]

These posters are insane. They are really well done.

[QOS4EVER]

Daniel_Craig ,Your Fan Made Posters are Beautifull! A Brilliant Job Done !

[DABOY]

I just came across this fan art in Google images and thought it was great.

[DABOY]

[Henry-Jones-Sr]

Respectfully, my problem with most of these fan posters for Skyfall is that they all use really boring photos of Daniel Craig just standing there.

[PeteNeon]

I love this one, only thing I'd change is the background, to something "theatrical QoS"-esque with some key elements from the film in it.

[PPK_19]

Brilliant bit of fan art by Daniel V on Twitter:

That poster is unspeakably awful.

[Vauxhall]

I quite like it JCR. Good effort. I particularly like you mocking it up into one of Adele's tweets! Had to give that one a second glance.
