My old design professor insisted we stick to a 2-color palette for everything

Professor Miller at the community college in Bakersfield was adamant about it, saying it built discipline and saved on print costs. I followed that rule for my first five freelance jobs, turning down clients who wanted more. Then a local brewery wanted a vibrant, 4-color poster, and I realized I was limiting myself for no good reason. Anyone else get hung up on a 'rule' from school that the real world just doesn't follow?

It trained us to argue, not think.
