Inspiration VS Imitation
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.
PS. I still love Blenger Burger tho

You’re right Sheilla, idea it’s not coming up without an effort, but to got an idea we have to learn from another sources also, mixed it in our brain, idea it’s not cheap. and not a magic. not a fault if we learn from anybody else, especially for a beginner like me i always try to find the sources from someone out there. so who is the originallity of author..??? you,..me,..or who.. no body perfect , every single person learn from another person modified and become more better,.. yang perlu dipertanyakan sepertinya siapa sih kepemilikan sesungguhnya,mungkin tiap individu juga untuk awal awalmah plagiat juga alias niru2 juga. soorry kepanjangan commentnya salam aja Sheilla..

Yes, you should never imitate. You should ask them for ideas if you’re that desperate… gosh, people these days.

mmmmm, me open minded…..
semuanya boleh di kopi, di edit, diperbanyak, dan di perbaharui lagi, baik mencantumkan si pembuat awalnya ataupun ngga.
selama itu bukan untuk bisnis
karna semua itu berawal dari satu bentuk, dan pastinya berkembang menjadi bentuk lain.
masalahnya….
seberapa arif kita menghargai bentuk awal yang telah kita ubah menjadi bentuk lain.

That is very true. I don’t think anyone who finds out that a person claims another person’s creation as their own will receive anything but disgust from others. I really don’t know why people do it. They probably think they won’t get caught.
