I
just read "Creative Anarchy at Its Very Best" by Denise Bosler, an
article about how sometimes, breaking the rules of graphic design are simply
necessary. However, you have to know the rules in order to break them. She then
goes on to say that the things that catch your eye are the things that don't
follow the mainstream. You're going to notice the tiny little thing that is
unlike everything else, and that’s how it stands out in the design world.
So
how do you stand out in the design world? Creative Anarchy. You can't always
follow the rules (rule following is for losers), but you also cant just break
rules willy-nilly. You've got to get to know them first.
I
think that Bosler definitely knows what she's talking about. She has
a very strong argument. I think she is pretty much trying to say that
while rules give order in the chaos of everyday life, sometimes the chaos is
what sparks the creative mind into action. She made her point very clear, and
she supported that claim substantially.
I
will definitely use this idea in my work. I've just got to remember:
Learn rules carefully so that you can break them properly.
