"20 Rules" Response

The article 20 Design Rules You Should Never Break, written by Mary Stribley, was very informative. When reading I changed rules to guidelines because if I were to follow all of them, I would not be able to design anything. Words like color discord, widows, and orphans are now a part of my design vocabulary. What took me away is when the article said, "there are no rules."(Stribley,1) However, it made sense coming from a design standpoint. My hopes is that there are more "rules" I have not discovered yet.
