Professional Article Review: Creative Anarchy at It's Very Best

       This article talks about the methods to the madness of breaking rules and pushing boundaries. The author talks about the key elements of breaking rules like, "You have to learn the rules before you can break them," or "Pushing boundaries proves that you are a thinker and a doer, not just a follower," and also, bending the rules to make the concept yours can be a good thing. The author is trying to show that we need rules to function as a society but we also need the guts to break the rules. The author is also trying to show that bending the rules and making it flexible can be a good thing because then you can make your work bigger and better.

        As told by Denise Bosler, "Rules take on many forms, and we begin to learn rules the minute we comprehend language." Bosler is trying to prove that rules can be bent and made flexible for creativity at a specific time. Bosler also says that, "Design rules are more like guidelines, so the answer is anytime." Bosler does an incredible job sharing different scenarios that have occurred with bending rules. The main weakness that has occurred in this article is that her main focus on her feelings are not present in the first paragraph. This makes the article unfocused and unorganized. The author believes that breaking rules for creativity can be a good thing.

        I don't think that the author's argument supports it's main points. The article seems very disorganized and doesn't captivate interest. The evidence that she gives is very convincing and it really makes you think. The conclusion makes you interested and really makes you reflect on the past moments of your life with creativity. As a graphic designer it lets me know that rules can be ok to made flexible. I don't understand the writers main feelings and emotions. I may have to re-read it or the author is just unclear.

        Overall this was a great article that makes you think and reflect on your past projects. I really liked the actual experiences given from people and past history. Denise Bosler did an incredible job with the article and it would be interesting to read more of what she wrote.
