Five iconic designs that broke the rules

Flux Academy · Beginner ·📣 Digital Marketing & Growth ·2y ago
Learn to design beautiful strategic brands with our Brand Design Mastery course - https://bit.ly/47eXgVZ Here's five works that broke the established graphic design rules of the time. Each one a lesson in prioritizing the communication of your idea above the blanket rule. While I’m a strong advocate of adhering to design principles, I'm not a fundamentalist. Creativity demands that we deviate from what's expected, even if that means transgressing established doctrine.
