Framework
The Counter-Intuitive Rulebook
A rapid-fire presentation of unconventional, numbered rules for achieving a specific aesthetic, where each rule is immediately validated by a montage of compelling visual examples.
- 1
The Framing Mandate
The first numbered rule is presented as an aggressive, direct command, setting a tone of confident authority and establishing the unconventional nature of the advice.
- 2
The Strategic Void Mandate
The second rule focuses on the unconventional use of negative space and micro-scale elements, challenging traditional principles of readability and balance.
- 3
The Anti-Template Mandate
The third rule advocates for rejecting pre-made assets in favor of unique, physical, or extreme creation methods, emphasizing originality over convenience.
- 4
The Imperfection Mandate
The fourth rule champions a raw, low-fidelity aesthetic, reframing traditionally negative qualities like 'ugly' or 'messy' as desirable and intentional stylistic choices.

Fake it till you make it. Graphic design part two. Use cutouts and borders aggressively to frame your subject. Choose a color complimentary to the image. I like to use this website too. Don't be afraid of empty space. Lots of it. Make your font tiny no anyone who sees it needs to squint. The goal here is to create abstract lines and shapes that pull your viewers in. Three, use anything but a premade font, whether that's creating typography with real objects or getting someone sunburned to write your message. Four, hand drawn elements. The uglier, the better. Draw with your mouse or better yet, draw with a pencil, take a picture, and overlay it to wherever you want it. Balance this with some clean best. And depending on what you've drawn, you end up with something euro rank or cute and quirky.
