RidiculousDesignRules.comLike it or love it, we all have rules that help us at work. "Leave it until the last minute." "Never use a PC." They make sense because they work for you, and you alone. When you try and make someone else follow them, they stop working and become a joke. The problem is that every rule related to, or governing, design is ultimately ridiculous.
We decided to give you a place where you could unload those pretentious sound bites about design you've heard from colleagues, clients or anyone else who thinks they know more than you. Designers don’t need anybody else to make us laugh, when we do it so well ourselves. Most Ridiculous Design Rules
Below you'll find a list of some of the most Ridiculous Design Rules we could find. This is only the beginning. Add your own RDRs to compile the ultimate list of inspirational/delusional design jargon for the world to judge.
Rate each rule on the Ridiculous Scale where 5 is ridiculously ridiculous and 1 if it almost sounds sensible. As if that will ever happen...

 And the winner is... Poll 2: The Most Ridiculous Building
In a closely fought contest that inspired much debate and inflamed opinions across the world, The Bayterek Tower, Astrana, Kazakhstan, eventually emerged as the winner with 32% of the vote, ahead of The Endless Column in Romania.
To help you relax, the next poll is concentrating on chairs. Should be simple, all you need to is sit in it. Right?
Poll 1: The Most Ridiculous Designer
We're proud to announce the results of last weeks poll to find the most ridiculous figure on the site. Unsurprisingly, especially if you saw this video, Phillippe Starck beat off stiff competition from Bill Blass, Plato and ... to be crowned 'The Most Ridiculous' with a majority of 58%. Congratulations Monsieur.
We'd also like to point out that this will be the last story on Phillipe Starck we publish. Unless you really want us to keep on doing it...
This week's vote is a straight fight to settle once and for all which of these buildings, or whatchamacallits, below is the most (you guessed it) ridiculous.
