MEDIA REVIEWS
"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."
