no, mr bond. i expect you to design!

james bond flyer

a quick piece of work from the archives… this was for bmedi@ - bradford’s new media network. the event was a business seminar and networking event and taking place in the cubby broccoli cinema in the national museum of film, photography and television (now the national media museum) including a tour of hidden parts of the building. broccoli was the producer of the james bond films, the event was on the (00)7th, so we went with a bond themed flyer to advertise the event.

folding out from an envelope-friendly size it’s printed in dark blue and silver - flip it over and there’s a cut-out-and-assemble cocktail shaker including a recipe for that perfect vodka martini. we also wrote the copy which is full of groan-out-loud bond puns. what moore could you want? (sorry)

james bond flyer - cocktail shaker

there was extensive research both literary and practical needed for the recipe. it’s a hard life. try it for yourself:

the perfect vodka martini

chill a stemmed cocktail glass by filling it with ice. set aside

take 2oz of premium quality vodka. add 1/2oz of dry vermouth

shake vigorously with ice for no longer than 5 seconds

shake the ice from the cocktail glass taking care to hold the glass only by the stem

strain the vodka-vermouth into the glass from a height of approximately 8cm

add a speared green olive or twist of lemon as preferred (optional)

serve immediately, if not sooner

cheers!

  1. I recall only about five people made one, but someone did win the iPod prize, great idea.
