    Victore’s position comes across loud and direct with his statement,

    ‘Graphic Design is a club with big f***king spikes in, and I want to wield it.’

    His interest in social and political agendas follows the same direction as Garland’s in orientating his work for more ‘useful’ objectives.

    In 2005 the director David Hillman Curtis started making a series of short films recording artists, designers, illustrators, and architects talking about their ideas and process. One of these films featured the poster designer James Victore. Hillman said: I chose to film James because of his posters. I didn’t know him or much about him at the time, but I had seen a few of his pieces and had fallen in love with them. I also liked that he was doing work that was politically subversive at a time – the height of the Bush Administration’s popularity – when it seemed as if a lot of creative people were too discouraged to do so. James was very outspoken during the interview, using foul language and cussing out politicians. I kept this stuff in the film and lost Adobe as a sponsor because of it.
