Would anyone be able to provide me with just the title fonts for Casino Royale or For Your Eyes Only? Either from the original dust jackets or newer ones. I'm trying to create my own dust jackets.

Thanks!

    The very best of luck with this @007InVT but I'm unable to help.

    I'm betting some on here have the expertise and time, though.

    Very good! I like all of them. A great Homage to Richard Chopping's bock cover style. :) I shall have to attempt some in the future.

    Very interesting symbolic cover art concept. Well executed and well done!

    Thanks both - it's becoming something of a hobby. I'm going to try to a few more that Chopping did not do and have some fun with it.

    Well, I'm glad to hear it, @007inVT. There's a very good page on Pinterest with loads of links of pictures of Richard Chopping's cover art, I think. Though, you probably know of it already.

    Is there anyone out there who's good with title graphics, fonts etc that would want to team up to supply some ideas to some covers I'm working on?

    I'm interested in Casino Royale, Moonraker, Dr. No, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die, Solo, Devil May Care and Carte Blanche.

    Here's two quick ones for SOLO:

    No problem. I need to gather a few props so I can attempt to make my own chopping cover. :)

    Does anyone use iPhoto and know of any upgrades/plugins to get more filters?

    Thanks!

    Bravo @AgentJamesBond007!

    Are the rose and gun photos with an effect or a painting?

    Never noticed that - very detailed. Richard Chopping would have approved, methinks.

    What software do you use?

    In-Design, After Effects, Photoshop etc?

    This was easy as I just used an unused proof, real shame it was not used.

    What is the red cloud meant to be? Just curious. It looks a bit like its coming from Bond though I'm sure that that was not its intention.

    Prominently GIMP. I have used the newest updated version of GIMP, but still like the earlier version better. What about you?

    Is GIMP Mac friendly?

    I have struggled along with iPhoto and Powerpoint. I really need to get Photoshop or something else if I am to take these up a notch.

    Downloaded GIMP but any tips on getting a watercolor effect?

    I have a Mac and GIMP runs pretty well most of the time, and I like it better than Photoshop, which I took a trial of and didn't really care for.

    If you go up to "Filter" and poke around you may find a feature you like. The closest I think you'll get to applying a paint-like effect on the image is by using "oilify".
