James Victore is often referred to as ‘the angriest man in graphic design’the title is undeserved, the fact of the matter is that he has a unique point of view in a field that is often unfortunately defined by the latest trends of what merely ‘looks cool at the moment.’ Victore can say more in a single brush stroke than most of us can convey in a month of diddling at our computers. I’m pretty much over the ‘designer vanity monograph’ but this book manages to rise above the ‘show-ff’ standards of such books to convey a real dedication and honesty to the craft of graphic design. Crammed with a plethora of beautifully designed pieces from his early days to the present, the book is designed by like-minded design adventurer Paul Sahre and has a foreward written by probably the smartest person in graphic design at the moment, Michael Beirut – you get a lot of bang for your buck with this book! A welcome addition to any designers collection.
