The individual poster shows Bond in a white tux, casually holding a gun. The 007 logo is used well to reveal glimpses of colour and Bond wearing his Day of the Dead mask, but again, they seem unwilling to give us anything more. The poster for Spectre embraces the white background again, with Bond and Swann in fashionable poses. SPECTRE (2015) Designer: Diane Reynolds-Nash Sure, the pose is fantastic and action packed and dusty but if you like posters that give you any clue about the film, you will be disappointed.Įven the separate individual character posters (and the photoshopped group shot) shows the figure(s) on a plain background. The Quantum font and gold 007 logo look very smart though. It’s like the marketing team had created this design as a placeholder until the action-packed poster comes along. The one image depicted isn’t even in the film, only the trailer. The warm champagne background serves to highlight Bond in the tux, staring directly at us again, brandishing a ridiculously huge gun in his hand.īeyond that, and the rocky ground (which at least is something from the film) we have nothing else to chew on. Now the decluttering of the Bond posters continues. QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008) Art Director: Randi Braun While we don’t see villains or explosions, some key Bond tropes are there, and boy does Daniel Craig look great. The silhouette of a mysterious woman, similar to those in many Bond opening titles provides a negative space where we see the casino and the cool car. The gun in his hand hints at potential violence and his bow tie hanging loose links to the tux look of previous Bonds, but this guy is less formal, less polished – befitting this rebooted, new 00-agent James Bond. Interestingly Bond is striding powerfully towards us. The design is reminiscent of the earlier posters, with a cluster of characters and action. The background of a cool grey, allows the darker foreground images to pop. The Daniel Craig posters are a little spartan, and samey.ĬASINO ROYALE (2006) Designers: Terry O’Neill, Keith Hamshere and George Whitear To keep these in line with previous poster analyses, I’ve used the most frequently seen posters which are landscape format. My reviews for the Daniel Craig Bonds are linked in the headings below.Īs you will probably be aware, modern marketing campaigns produce a huge range of poster designs for different countries, and with different uses. Rewatching all of the Bond films in the run up to the release of NO TIME TO DIE has been fascinating, and since the film has been delayed, I’ve been looking at Bond Movie Artwork.
