posted by Marcus Piper on 11th January 2010Right. Column two comes hot on the heels of column one and why... well I'm feeling inspired. Not so much inspired to create in the day to day graphic design sense, but inspired to write my second column. There you go - inspiration comes and you have to grab it - no matter what hour, what day or what condition the surf is in. It's pretty good right now. Damn.
So what's bugging...

I obviously can't name names but can you believe we are into third generation rip offs? We were recently commissioned to shoot a job that was a rip off of a Nadav Kander John Lewis ad which in turn started as a rip off of an original installation art piece.
I agree it has to be about education. Cultural sampling and reworking is one thing relabeling old ideas is another entirely. We have to create a culture where there is shame in copying. Sadly we have the opposite culture currently.

It seems more like creation stops when culture starts. When something can be aligned (visually or otherwise) with a culture it immediately leads to mimicry. Or is culture by definition in a state of flux and creativity and innovation's purpose to maintain this progression?
