Inspiration VS Imitation

September 21, 2006 @ 12:44 pm · Filed under Ramblings

I came across a blog site and read this article.

I know that it is very hard to create some ideas and then translate it into some designs. Most of the time ideas don’t pop like magic in your head. Inspirations don’t come while you’re smoking and wandering in the toilet like they wrote in Lupus novels. Inspirations come from seeing, watching, hearing, experiencing… and sometimes you get inspired by other people’s work. No one has the right to say that it is wrong. Even famous artists and designers get inspired by each other and other people’s work.

But inspiration is different from imitation. When you imitate other people’s work, you copy the same exact thing. Basically what you do is just re-producing. Not only ripping their whole concept and ideas but also copying the colors, pictures, copy pasting / a little editing on the CSS file, erasing credits to the original creator. Like it ain’t enough, you claim it that it’s all yours, taking all the praises and glory for yourself… and then calling yourself an artist. LOL.

Despite from if imitating is against the rules or not, if it is a sin or not… Definitely it is not recommended for someone to do such things… If you insist means that you’re ready for the risk of getting humiliated. Cus when public finds it out, usually you’re just gonna make yourself look like a complete loser.

Can life be more beautiful?

For few days I stayed at Lia’s place. It was my first time visiting her new house since they moved in two weeks ago. Knowing that I was gonna stay, her mom cooked A LOT of meal for us. Pepes ikan salem, pepes jagung, sup krim, sayur acem, and kue ketan with saos duren for dessert. Heaven! She always does that when she knows I’m gonna come, hehe. I finally met Apple Poya, the premature baby doll Lia’s sister (Oliph) bought from bidding on Ebay. She looked REAL and so cute! Gonna write about her more later. We spent hours watching DVDs (My Boss’ Daughter + Little Manhattan, both were real funny) with Oliph, Bayu (Oliph’s boyfriend), and of course Poya.

On the next day Lia treated me for a three hours spa at this salon… it was bcus she was gonna have her graduation on Saturday hehehe. And we went to Citos to play at Timezone. I broke my record for the basketball game (55! yeah!) and we finally finished the Jurassic Park! It was a great exercise, sure we don’t always need to go to the gym to work out hehe. When we got very tired, we bought some ice cream. Eating your fave ice cream while walking down the way in the mall… wearing your fancy clothes… the music was playing… lots of guys… or gurls… turn their heads to look at you and had their eyes on you from head to toes (oh wait… I think they wanted your ice cream hehehe)… nothing else to think or to worry about… How can life be more perfect… or should I say beautiful… than that? Deep down in my heart I knew that something was missing.
