JAMES BOND
CASINO ROYALE — LIVE AND LET DIE — GOLDFINGER
CASINO ROYALE — LIVE AND LET DIE — GOLDFINGER
Since I truly enjoy designing the identity of whole book series', this personal project was
an experiment to produce bold and engaging covers for Ian Fleming's James Bond novels.
Although there are seventeen original novels I restricted myself to three as a proof of concept.
The protagonist is such a well known pop culture icon with so many iterations that I felt I should focus on the villians — Le Chiffre, Mr Big and Auric Goldfinger — instead of the famous
MI6 agent as I believe they are the most interesting counterpart in each story.

The layouts were pretty close to the final versions from the start, the only trouble I had was with Goldfinger's composition
Casino Royale's themes: France, Vesper Lynd, casino, baccarat, golf, SMERSH
Goldfinger's themes: Fort Knox, Rolls-Royce, canasta, golf, SMERSH
Live and Let Die's themes: Florida, Jamaica, voodoo, 17th-century gold coins, SMERSH
