Memphis Style inspired book covers for Charles Willeford's 1980's pulp fiction series.

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.

We are very proud of these covers. This project was very quickturn around. The brief was to make them clear and direct, and for them to have real presence on the shelves. We did the photography and styling for The Invisible Man ourselves.

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.

A bit of a controversial one, if you want to look it up. We got to print on top of foil for the petals which is a real treat as it take longer to dry. I looks lovely. We will shoot the cover an get it up on here soon.

A great project . . . a very 'difficult' title and subtitle. We used some of our own letterpress for this one and we think it turned out very nicely.

Attack Attack Attack!!!

Very happy with this one. We like working on historical 'stuff' and this one gave us the opportunity to make it look current with the typography, set alongside this beautiful period etching.

A nice break from the usual 'silhouetted figure' that you so often get these days with Victorian Crime covers. Orion Publishing asked us to do something different with this one . . . so we did!
