Casino Royale, 70th anniversary
Categories:
A bold, minimalist design celebrating 70 years of James Bond’s debut in Casino Royale.
Overview
Commissioned by The Folio Society, I designed a limited-edition cover for Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale. The leather-bound cover features a striking roulette-wheel graphic, symbolising the novel’s central themes of chance and risk.
Method
I created a bespoke ‘007’ motif and drew Ian Fleming’s name in a custom style to complement the design.
The main title and all headings throughout the book are set in my typeface Span, achieving a balance between elegance and simplicity.
Outcome
The final cover has been well-received, praised for its boldness and classic appeal. The design captures the essence of Bond’s inaugural adventure while demonstrating the power of minimalist design in literary classics.
I enjoyed working with Jamie and wouldn't hesitate to commission him again
