We’ve all seen articles devoted to the various web desing “rules” out there. In fact, they’ve probably been drilled into all of our heads ad nauseum. And for many, they serve as a comforting set of guidelines that make our lives easier, at least when it comes to design.

But what about those occasions when you have an idea that doesn’t quite fit in the rules? Or what if you’re just sick and tired of doing everything by the book and you want to challenge yourself creatively? Are the rules really set in stone?

Don’t you resent that? Of course you do! Who wants to wake up every morning to go spend their most productive hours doing something marginally engaging, listening to criticism from people they do not particularly respect and whose judgment they often doubt, just to make someone else’s business grow?

Sure, your end of the deal doesn’t look so bad: steady income, benefits, a job in your field of choice and being able to leave all your troubles behind when you go home…
