I realise I've missed a trick there on the 'DEATH' card: I'll need to change the numerals on it to 007! A bit cheesy maybe but still, a lot more meaningful!
That make up around Jayne Semour's eyes makes for a hypnotising look though the dress helps! :)

Thanks for those links @Murdock - he does look a bit worse for wear there doesn't he!
No problem. :) And no comment. :P
True but both the SE and UE artwork of AVTAK use the first picture of Moore I posted. ;)

Now that looks great. :)
Well you've been doing a great job. And me and Brady will find you pictures for you. feel free to ask. :)
That they do. Yet another marketing slip up!
It's better that they did. If they used a pic of how Roger looked in AVTAK it probably wouldn't sell well if at all. No offence.
Here's a cover from Argentina where they used a pic of Roger from LALD!

Sorry for derailing a bit. Not my intention. Carry on. :)
No Problem. :) Hope to see some Brosnan films next. :D
Not LALD, the images are from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Ah well close enough. :)) Thanks for pointing that out.
Instinctively with anything we look at, we look at people - it's a kind of nosy / self preservation instinct. We will always scan the eyes and then the face first above anything else. Something like friend or foe and threat or even a potential mate! The primary here is RM then BB. The eye scans and follows shapes and lines to make sense / summarising it so the gun runs to the top right and the wedge of the Esprit is then drawing back into the centre to the film title and maybe the smaller script though more likely the tanker interior. I've tipped the Esprit more of a steeper angle as it was originally quite level. An overall scan then sees Atlantis and the parachute with possibly the top intro last - ironic as it's an intro but it's a kind or repetition 'prop' to give continuation cues to familiar elements like the footer 007 too.
The general bubble of blue is the underwater section beneath Bond and Atantis and is centred in the (maybe too) subtle gun barrel as an additional focus in the general swirl in the currents. The fact it's hanging there floating is the idea!! Words are another draw to the eye and help this scanning process.
There! And it all just seems like I'm only trying to make it look nice!
Which I am. And I'm winging it... ;)
Have to admit I'm disappointed by the lack of any Claudine Auger in your Thunderball poster.
These are a couple of alternatives I didn't post before:
Even with new films it's quite noticeable how the publicity machine uses a multitude of different poster images and themes for their new release and it's likely they too can't decide which version they actually prefer!
