Never Use White Type on a Black Background: and 50 other Ridiculous Design RulesThe world of design is inundated with a seemingly endless list of rules. “Less is More,” “Form Follows Function,” “Keep it Simple,” “Dress Your Age,” and the list goes on and on. Some designers consider these rules as valuable words of wisdom, which serve as a guiding line and source of inspiration. Others perceive them as mere restrictions: design dogmas and fashion formulae that need to be bended, twisted or broken altogether.
Whichever side of the fence you sit on in this whole rules debate, you’re bound to find this book a source of inspiration, comfort, joy or just plain old fun.
Because, ultimately, every rule related to, or governing, design is ridiculous.
