    No not Silva. Sylvia as in Sylvia Trench.

    Edit: Beat me to it.

    Wrong person. I think that doubleoego meant Sylvia Trench, as portrayed by Eunice Gayson. Not Javier Bardem's Raoul Silva!

    EDIT: Posted too late :P

    lol - with SF being so fresh in the memory that's where my mind went!
    I blame tired eyes when I swapped things around but sure, will make a less surreal version later!
    Scratch that other one but created a weird photo with SC tied to the chair!!..

    If it makes you feel any better, Raoul likes to dress down for golf too.

    Or so I've heard...

    That mishmash works very well, actually. I like it. Maybe you're started the new fan art trend @andmcit.

    A bit too edgy for 1962!

    So - two for the price of one:

    I just can't find a decent enough quality image of that great end shot of UA and it's driving me mad as I prefer it over the usual well used bikini shots. Nearest is this:

    The last one is great. It gives a feeling of movement.

    Yes, this is more like it! Superb work. Superb.

    That 'Licence to Kill' poster is very, very nice. Great work!

    Thank you - I'm pleased with how it's looking although I'm still guilty of tweaking it! I've just had a thought about the title / text and slightly pulled a few elements around to give his shoulders a bit more space. See what you think:

    Since your posters incorporate a lot of key characters/events from the films, you should do various versions of them with different events/switch around the characters or pictures of characters. The options would be endless.

    For example, you could have a big photo of DC for SF, and add the torture scene, the explosion of SF, and a big shot of the PTS train, and then in another poster, add the Shanghai fight, Bond meeting Severine, and Bond running through the tube station, and just sprinkle characters from the film about.

    That's a brilliant idea @Creasy47 - I'm practically there with most of these already with layers in the document which are switched off! Some files have over 30 layers!

    I'm aiming to create a set (which could be considered a bit formulaic after a while I suppose) using a similar theme to the ones I've been doing where I learn to work the various layouts so when I feel like going off onto a different tangent / concept I should really have gotten a feel for the right pictures and how much emphasis different elements get.

    Today I set the first 8 film versions I particularly like out onto a black background and the colours zinged out and really made an impact - against the white of the forum page here sometimes the black can look quite strong and sombre but I try to use it sparingly to punch out the stronger brighter colours.

    I realise these are all quite busy but that is in fact the intention - making posters more like DC in Skyfall and QOS effectively just has an 'atmosphere' or grunge added to one shot. They have impact but feel a bit too pared back for a Bond poster. It's actually a reason why I'm leaving DC films to last. The best current / recent poster I love is the CR with the Casino within the shadow silhouette of Vesper - I realise now where I probably got the subliminal influence from with my latest LTK poster! I actually saw the TD shot first and wanted to try and retain that stark B&W contrast so used the black as the working canvas area.

    This certainly beats the hell out of photo retouching and cutting out welders and lighting towers in the day job - especially where they all have metres of curly cabling...

    Well I must say, all that you're doing works, and the posters look very nice.

    Something a bit different - I've not seen a mock up of just the first and latest Bond:

    That's Connery in Goldfinger and Craig in Casino Royale, right? Cool poster, though.

    I think it may be from QoS' Omega promo. Looks good.
  • andmcitandmcit

    Sure - the main problem is finding decent quality images - everyone, myself included, has to end up colorising B&W images from the earlier films. For me DC looks better with a bit more hair on top too which is why I chose that shot. I think it's from CR promo as his hair was darkened to look more like SC at the start!

    I made it to fit on my black iPhone 4 home screen and I'm chuffed to bits as it looks great!! I've got an alternate version I'll post shortly with a few minor additions...

    Edit> actually when I revisit this now I'm quite pleased with the results of colorising the B&W of SC - not something I've ever tried doing before. May open up possibilities of better images I can get online that only ever get shown B&W.

    I really like the Live and Let Die one, for some reason. They're all good, of course, but that one stands out for whatever reason. Maybe it's that I just watched LALD yesterday.

    Have you ever considered doing posters with different Bonds on them, like Dalton in GoldenEye or Connery in On Her Majesty's Secret Service or Brosnan in Casino Royale?

    I'm pleased you like my LALD @Soundofthesinners - I just finished this version just a short while ago! It's a bit simpler than some of my others which may make it feel more like a book cover rather than a big wall poster. There are a lot of ideas in my mind with this so there will likely be a few variations along the way. I haven't even got the bus, speedboat, any snakes or voodoo figures which so indelibly fingerprint this film. When I was young and first saw this film the voodoo scared the Hell out of me.

    I've set myself the task to try and get a set of as per original versions done before trying alternative ideas! I'm on a mission...

    Love your kind compliments @doubleoego and @willyGalore and everyone else before too: while it's fun doing these anyway, all your positive feedback is appreciated!

    A busier but hopefully more of a 'big' epic feeling version:

    I like the snake in that one. Bet it'd look good in 3D
