When Less Actually Became More Picture this: 100 slides of complex data making everyone's eyes glaze over. The design rulebook says "add visuals!" but we went rebel and stripped everything down instead. The result? A 20-slide deck that helped secure $200M in funding. More white space, more impact – who knew being a minimalist could maximize your chances of making it rain? 💸

The "Old People Hate Modern Design" Myth Busted "Keep it super simple for the 50+ crowd," they said. "Nothing too fancy," they said. Well, plot twist! We discovered that your cool aunt who rocks an iPad Pro wants modern design just as much as Gen Z – she just needs intuitive navigation. When we broke this "rule," engagement didn't just improve, it skyrocketed. Turns out good design is ageless, who would've thought? 🚀

Content Monster? More Like Content Rockstar While everyone was chanting "less content, more white space," we faced a landing page that could rival War and Peace in length. Instead of hitting delete, we turned it into a storytelling adventure. Each scroll revealed another chapter of value, and conversions jumped 40%. The secret sauce? Stop fighting your content and make it the main character instead. Sometimes more is more – when you make it flow like a Netflix series they can't stop watching! 📺

The Big Takeaway? Rules are like pizza toppings – sure, there are classics, but sometimes the weird combinations create pure magic. Great design isn't about blindly following or rebelliously breaking rules – it's about knowing which rules are holding your project back from its full potential.

Want to break some rules together? Let's create something that makes the design textbooks need a new edition!

P.S. No best practices were permanently harmed in the making of these projects. They're all doing fine, just a bit more flexible now. 😉
