Quite conveniently, a show concerning Cold War spy films is being staged in the college gallery. This relates superbly to my current context of Practice project about James Bond.
Many of the films portrayed come across as quick cash-grabs off the tide of success that the Bond films brought in. But obviously, their legacy is much richer than simple 007 clones.
The aesthetic of the posters bring their own context, some of which were highly evocative of Polish book covers.
This piece appears to be using as many colours as the budget could handle.
In reflection of my own project, I would certainly like to pursue the creation of a series of posters, each of which reflecting the stand-out decades of the Bond franchise... These posters are significant of the 60s period of spy thrillers, I shall definitely refer to them for palette and typeface.
