There are lots of \u201cdesign rules\u201d out there that you\u2019re supposed to follow.<\/p>\n
These rules are there for good reason \u2013 following them increases the likelihood that you\u2019ll create a usable and effective interaction experience for users.<\/p>\n
But is it ever OK to break the rules?<\/p>\n
Of course it is. \u201cDesign Rules\u201d aren\u2019t rules at all \u2013 they\u2019re simply guidelines<\/strong> you should use to help create an optimal solution.<\/p>\n Breaking well established design conventions doesn\u2019t always mean you\u2019re making a \u201cmistake\u201d or that you\u2019re going to produce a poor user experience.<\/p>\n Quite the opposite \u2013 breaking the rules enables you to be more creative, original, and innovative which can potentially result in new and novel interaction experiences.<\/p>\n The key is not to break the rules just for the sake of creating something \u201cdifferent\u201d. However, we must maintain; \u00a0“to break a rule, you must know snd understand the rule”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are lots of \u201cdesign rules\u201d out there that you\u2019re supposed to follow.
