COPIES ?
I have had two phone calls from clients in the last two weeks drawing my attention to work I have produced for them that they feel has been copied by others. I’m not one for ranting on about copying in design as ideas have been filtered down in various creative form since forever. However, there is heavily influenced and then there is simple copying - after two calls in two weeks, plus a quick browse through a few design books at Tate Modern discovering some of my work published without permission or credit, I am a little miffed to say the least. If you are wondering, the iwant designs are the top two, first column is a flyer produced for NYC club Body and Soul in 2008 below is a recent album from Ministry of Sound. The second column is an album we designed for 6th Borough Project earlier this year below that is a just released 12” for Adam Beyer. Having contacted both they simply say sorry it is just a coincidence. Both of these appear in google searches - What do you think ?
