The Ultimate Ultimatum

The Bourne Trilogy

Everyone’s a graphic designer nowadays but not necessarily a good one. The first three in the Bourne series featured Matt Damon as ex-CIA agent Jason Bourne. In this age of streaming, the DVDs often come into Oxfam bookshop. The trilogy, above, were donated recently. As you might quickly surmise, the first two are originals, the final film, The Bourne Ultimatum, is a homemade bootleg and we were unfortunately unable to sell it.

I have not seen such a bad cover design for some time. It takes some skill to make something this terrible. The fonts, the images (who even is that guy on the front?), the lack of any other information, it’s so bad I rather like it. It looks like it could be an obscure art film instead of a mindless action movie. It makes the first two cover designs look completely generic.
