Every designer has heard the so-called “rules” of design, but this book turns those conventions on their head with humor and creativity. It’s a refreshing take that encourages designers to question norms and explore bold solutions.
Review
This cheeky and thought-provoking book challenges the design “rules” we’re often taught, encouraging readers to rethink conventions and push creative boundaries. Never Use White Type on a Black Background and 50 Other Ridiculous Design Rules is as much a humorous critique of design dogma as it is a practical guide. The book features tongue-in-cheek insights alongside real-world examples of successful rule-breaking. It’s perfect for designers who love to question the status quo and find innovative ways to solve design problems. Not only does it inspire creativity, but it also serves as a reminder that design is as much about intuition as it is about rules.
