"There's a method to the madness of breaking rules and pushing boundaries, and it's all for the sake of good design."

Design shouldn't always follow the rules.  In fact, when you bend or break the rules sometimes you come up with a better design.  Three main points to do this are: starting with design history, taking risks, and staying open.  

  Design history is very important. It is very good to stay up to date with the designs and styles that are being used around us. This is important because if we use those techniques and styles then we are more likely to be able to successfully produce a product. Knowing design history also includes learning from designs that have failed and making your own design better.

Taking risks is a necessity to good design. This is because when you take a risk over a certain design or style, you open up more opportunities to either get better and learn or even to start new trends and styles.

Staying open is key. Although you want to keep with the up to date looks, you need to be open about your design to be able to make it your own. If you stay open you can discover many different designs.

Following these key points is very effective in creating good design sense and successful production.
