Professional Article Review: Creative Anarchy at Its Very Best

This article was about what it takes to embrace creative anarchy.  It explains that rules are meant to be broken but you have to know them first.  Also, that there are many problems that occur in design but the thing is that there are even more solutions to them.  Finally, the article explains that it's okay to take risks and divert from the conformism of others. In this article, the author Denise Bosler tries to explain that it's okay, and many times needed, to break the rules.

Design has many different components that make it as creative as possible.  One of these being rules which are needed in order for us to be able to do what we need to.  While they are very important to help us stay on track, it also is important to break them at some points.  They provide guidelines and basic information to make creative pieces but also can block us from being truly creative in our own ways.  Design is something that needs to be pushed and so does our own creativity.

This is especially true when there are problems with the pieces you're trying to create.  "Every design problem has multiple solutions," as said by Denise Bosler.  Even problems need to happen in order to succeed.  Design does not have shortcuts; it's either do it fully or not at all.  No matter what happens, we will always be learning new things whether they be new ideas we come up with, new solutions to a problem, new techniques, or new rules.  There is no way to escape rules, but there are many ways to break them.  The key is to break them but in  a way that it will benefit you instead of hurting you.

Denise did a great job about supporting her key ideas with a lot of detailed evidence.  She also used good examples in order to further her opinion about what she believes is needed to be a successful designer.  She could've worked on using less words but just as much detail to explain her main point so that it wasn't as confusing as she made it seem.
