Set in the early 1990s on a British army base, 4 a.m. tells the story of Cal and Manny, soldiers posted to Germany as army chefs. Bored and institutionalized, the pair soon succumb to the neon temptations of Hamburg’s red-light district, where they dive into a seedy world of recreational drugs and all-night raves. But it is only a matter of time before hedonism and military discipline clash head on, with comic and poignant consequences.
Life-affirming raving soon gives way to gloomy, drug-fuelled nights in fast-food restaurants, at sex shows, and in Turkish dive bars. As a succession of events ratchets up the pressure on Cal and Manny their friendship is tested, a secret is revealed, and a shocking betrayal changes their lives forever.

This cover got 'the works' with regards to finishes. CMYK on top of Foil . . . Matt Lamination and Spot uv. The central mirror, type and corner elements all have highly reflective foil underneath the printing. This process takes a long time to dry and it was a real treat to be able to do this.Graphic Design, Illustration2012 -

Commissioned to design Ian Fleming's James Bond novels for Penguin Books working closely with the Fleming Estate and the incredibly talented photographer Toby McFarlan Pond.
The aim was to create a strong set of jackets with as little reference to the films as possible and to intoroduce new readers to the author. The project received a lot of press including an article in Creative Review (below).
The covers have a high gloss finish with the titles printed in metallic ink, and the name JAMES BOND appears at the be bottom of each jacket, matt laminated and embossed.
Here you see the designs for the limited edition collectors set. Only 500 of each title exist.Graphic Design2012 -
