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...
