I chose James Victore. Their work looks really cool and punk-like. The hand written letters makes it feel organic and comedic since most of the images they use are real. The real images and messy handwritten letters make for a good contrast. Their work also seems very activists to me since make a lot of political jabs and protesting statements/propaganda.
James Victore uses all the principles, grid, hierarchy, and type size for certain pieces. The most common one I see though is type size. Most of the time they have the main topic or important parts of the piece in large or bolded letters while leaving the less important parts smaller.
Overall, I think their work is successful because everything matches. The messy, almost angry looking writing helps express whatever the poster is about and most of James’s work includes vulgar or controversial topics. I do think some of the lettering is hard to read, but that could be a artistic choice.
