The man turned George Bush’s face into a pirate flag and created a condom ad with copulating rabbits. Designed to grab eyeballs and braincells, these are the sort of gambits (for clients like Moët & Chandon, The New York Times, and MTV) that have won James Victore the acclaim of the international design crowd and everyone tired of the same-old same-old.
Now the iconoclast's got a gorgeous book from Abrams, with an introduction by Pentagram's Michael Beirut, to show off his clever and jarring ouevre, and he'll be at UT's Harry Ransom Center tonight, talking trash and triumphs, giving you the lowdown on designing in these strange and mediated days.
