Creative Anarchy Review

    This article is about how the rules of design need to be known before being broken. These rules should be broken in the right way for the scope of the project. The author claims that poor design creates chaos. This is true, because if certain important rules aren't followed and a design is made improperly, the world that sees it will not understand it. It is important to know the rules and only bend or break the rules of design. Denise Bosler uses examples of rules from everyday life that are crucial and anecdotes of actual client scenarios to support her argument.

    Much of the article is well written and I can relate to. Unfortunately some paragraphs contradict one another in the way they are written. The article also seemed quite vague when mentioning the actual rules of design. They were never clearly stated. 

    Ms. Bosler concludes that a project is never complete until the creative anarchist within is fully satisfied. The designs one creates should never stop evolving and a designer's learning is never finished. She states that designs should be outside of the box and more personal and relatable. I enjoyed the article, it was very intriguing and involved. It was a fascinating point of view on design. The author argues that each idea should begin with previous creations and then your idea should be similar but changed in a risky way. And always keep your eyes open to new ways of creating. 

    The overall article was interesting and well written but sometimes contradicted itself. I enjoyed it and connected with it throughout reading and annotating. I also learned things I can apply later to design class.
