Designers who broke the rules

This time round i am going to talk about designers who are non related to fashion, a few artists who broke the rules.




Steve Jobs was known for breaking the rules and as we all know that Apple doesn’t just make a product. They completely change people’s perception of what’s stylish, what’s the future and what’s going to be ‘trendy’ in the months and years to come., white earphones was just one of many. Steve Jobs is an incredible innovator and was known for breaking the rules in work. He was an incredible innovator who changed the way we saw and used technology like no other. While others were still stuck with black or silver earpieces, the CEO of Apple designed the iconic white earpieces. White plastic earpieces which looks tacky to him at first but he still made these white earpieces when releasing the iPhone. To his content it appeared stylish and trendy whilst listening to music.

In 1907 its painter, Pablo Picasso, broke all of the rules that the "artistically correct" learned at the art academies: he disposed of three-dimensional perspective, abandoned harmonious proportion, used distortion, and borrowed from the art of primitive cultures. In fact, the painting was such a revolutionary statement that when the painting was first viewed by some French critics, the painter Derain even suggested to Picasso that he would one day commit suicide for the shame that he had brought on the art establishment.

In rendering the new reality, Picasso also abandons harmonious bodily proportions. This, of course, was done on purpose since Picasso had been trained at art school how to render the human figure through mathematical proportions.

Picasso claimed to have broken the rules way earlier than another artist who broke the rules, Francis Bacon.










He is a artist who paints faces that are ferocious, distorted, hideous. The bodies tends to slouch insolently. The rooms are almost empty, the walls blank. Critics howled that the paintings were sloppy, stupid, and meaningless – the same complaints we often hear today. Now, it's a beloved style. Instead of giving us smooth, realistic bodies, Bacon pulled viewers into cosmic bleakness.
