Creative Anarchy eBook

You’ll love this graphic design book if:

• You’re looking for design inspiration
  
• You want creative exercises to help stimulate ideas
• You want to learn how to create unique work that will stand out

Among the many regulations of design you often hear are, “follow the rules and color within the lines,” and “only use two fonts on a page and don’t make your logo too complicated.” If you’re tired of hearing the same old restrictions, you’ll love the creative freedom offered by Creative Anarchy by Denise Bosler. Though there are surely rules of good design, it is more important just to know when to follow them and when they can be broken.

Gather tips for throwing design caution to the wind, while also maintaining effective communication so your message is heard, and utilize creative exercises to help you push your work to the next level. Learn how to be strategic when using (or choosing not to use) the rules of graphic design to create stimulating original designs. In addition to design inspiration, you’ll also discover sections specifically devoted to helping you design posters, logos, websites, advertising, publications, and more.

In Creative Anarchy you’ll find:

• A breakdown of 10 essential design rules
  
• How to break rules for the sake of good design
• Exercises to help clarify rule breaking methods

A word from the author:

“The ability to push boundaries is a respected quality. It shows you are willing to go beyond the expected by demonstrating that you will invest time and creative strategy in a design concept. Boundary pushing proves that you are a thinker and a doer, not a follow-the-leader-er.” Denise Bosler
