Four Essential Members of a Great Design Team by Michael Roller
“Have you ever wondered why you can successfully collaborate with another designer in your office? At Kaleidoscope, some of the designers (including me) are organized and analytical. Others think freely and contextually. How can we coexist?”
We can, work it out!
Design is too important to be left to the thinkers by Robert Brunner.
“Recently, at a conference reception (think wine and cubes of cheese), a well-known and influential member of the academic community said to me: Design strategy is far too important to be left to designers. What a pile of crap, I think..
.. great design is more than an object: It is an idea. An idea that permeates everything.”

Previously on Twitter: “U found something interesting that you put on your blog? Cite your source(s) with a link back”.
Why? To nudge people who get inspired by content from influential blogs/portals/individuals to show where their inspiration comes from, if they republish it in some form or another.
It would be unthinkable to dare publish a scientific paper without any references. Without these, no credibility in the community. Should same ethics apply to us?
So what do you make of these? Copy theft or inspiration?

To a NEW designer (an open letter)
You are fresh, you are out, you are entering the field, you are charged, you are ready to storm the industry and imprint your mark with your wits and talent! Great! I would like to share some thinking paths to munch over and pitfalls to avoid so you can successfully make it happen and avoid common mistakes befalling inexperienced designers.
Why is that?
We all were newbies.
There will always be newbies.
We all need to be newbies.
“Some ways of implementing copyrighted material are considered fair use. Certain forms of parody are considered fair use, as long as they don’t become a new work or product that directly competes with the content being parodied.”
Excerpt from Indie Publishing edited by Ellen Lupton.
What do you think of the following example? Which is the original?
Fair use or plagiarism? Post it.
This is probably one of the worst nightmare that can happen to an editor, someone reporting that one of your covered artist may be a fraud. This is worst than navigating a perilous sea. Worst than breaking into personal perceptions instead of objectivity. Worst that can happen to someone’s reputation. Threading with circumspection and for the sake of justice or at least wanting to offer room for debate, shown are samples of the so called copycats.
Make sure to read first this post and review the samples provided and state what you think in the comments.
So in your view, is it or not plagiarism?
