Design Rebel: James Victore

I had the pleasure of meeting artist/designer/activist/teacher James Victore yesterday.

He was a visiting lecturer at Virginia Commonwealth University's Graphic Design department and also met with my Design Rebels class where he shared his personal experiences working for excitement rather than money. Some choice quotes:

"I don't want to be known as a graphic designer."

"We're supposed to be the people who make culture, not decorate culture."

And when asked what school he went to said, "Ecole Des Hard Knocks. Whatever you learn there you keep."

He also passed out the stickers, shown above.
