In every chapter, he challenges and inspires the reader to reach for more, to try harder and to create our best selves. It is a magnificent and momentous experience. (All true)." —Debbie Millman, Host Design Matters "James Victore got famous creating tough posters that shook me to the core. He now does the same using the written word. To you." —Stefan Sagmeister, designer

"Packed with no-nonsense, motivational messages on creative courage and the human condition, he celebrates authenticity and ‘weirdness’ as a tool to be used for successThe book’s six chapters – ‘Voice’, ‘Fear’, ‘Start’, ‘Action’, ‘Habits’ and ‘Purpose’ – are split into further sub-chapters with titles such as ‘You, the reluctant hero’ and ‘Have a damn opinion’. Each includes a short passage, drawing insight from psychology, philosophy and lessons from Victore’s design career. Bold statements are re-emphasised in sketches and image play throughout the book. This book acts as a great instigator, offering a not-so gentle push to kickstart creative projects." -- eye magazine
"Feck Perfection is an entertaining and occasionally anarchic self-help book aimed at creatives, featuring advice on everything from how to get started in your career to finding your own unique creative voice and why – as the title suggests – we should stop seeking perfection." -- Creative Review

Both rousing and soothing." -- Irish Tatler
