Hello!
Before we break the rules, it is important to know them first. I agree that everything has rules. I like this phrase where it says, “Rules are meant to be broken” because I think its true. If we obediently follow all rules, i think we are living such a boring life. But it all depends on what kind of rules that has been set. So I’m going to tell you about this particular artist that has broken the rules. Since I’m majoring in graphic communication, it is going to be a relevant topic!

This is David Carson. He’s the
most important designer of the 90s. He has not only broken the rules but he
also has taken the rulebook, jumped on it, tore out the pages and then set it
alight. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun, which was first
published in 1992 in California. Through this, he created new boundaries in
magazine publishing. How did he break the rules? He abandoned the usual
conventions of the grid system and ignored the acceptable usage of columns,
headlines and even page numbers. It resulted into a unique style, which was
chaotic and abstract in the extreme, often unreadable, but visually exciting!
These are some of his artworks.
Enjoy!
Thanks for reading! Bye!
