Illustrated bond posters

I have a poster of all the bond movie posters for Dr No to QOS. And I noticed something... From DN to AVTAK the majority of posters are illustrated. Then from about LTK onwards they are no longer illustrated, but real live-action pictures. Do you think we'll ever see a return of the illustrated style posters?

Of the fan made posters are stunning ! {[]
I have that poster, too, and the first thing I noticed is that all of them feature a woman somewhere on the poster except YOLT. I wonder what that says about me that I noticed it right away?
lol good spot. I also noticed that, unlike the rest, GF isn't illustrated

The current Craig-era posters are too simplistic and nowhere near as exciting; the composite posters of old created a heightened anticipation about some of the best scenes from the forthcoming film, which is now missing. But I guess that's the internet, it's too easy to see key scenes, so the posters can afford to be simplistic.
The days for illustrated posters in general are probably over. It's just sad that the James Bond franchise, one of the longest running film series and a series known for illustrated posters couldn't even try for the anniversary or use one new Robert McGinnis Bond image.
