Ever stared at a blank canvas until your soul left your body?
Had a client ask you to "make it pop" and died a little inside?
Been told to "be more creative" by someone whose idea of art is a corporate flowchart?
Welcome to the resistance.
This isn't your professor's design textbook. This is the book for everyone who's tired of the rules, tired of the pretentious jargon, and tired of taking creative advice from people who think Comic Sans is a personality.
In The Design Heretic's Handbook, you'll discover:
• How to break the "golden rules" without ending up with a design crime scene
• A simple system for choosing fonts that don't look like a Microsoft Word default
• What to do when clients give feedback that sounds like a rejected horoscope
• How to use AI without becoming its boring intern
• Why creative block is a lie; and how to kick its ass
No theory. No fluff. Just real, usable methods for creating killer work without losing your mind...or your sense of humor.
If you've ever wanted to design like a boss, laugh at the absurdity of it all, and maybe...just maybe, enjoy the process again... you've come to the right place.
Read if you're:
A designer, artist, creative, or chaotic good soul who's done playing by someone else's rules.
