"Amid all this talk of rule breaking, ugliness and
work-that's-so-bad-it's-good, Graphic Design Rules aims to redress
the balance in favour of design that recognises that there are
certain known knowns, as they say. It's either a guide to
prevent rookie mistakes or a list of challenges to take head
on."
