Follow on Google News | The Difference between Inspired and Copied DesignWhere does one draw the line between 'inspired by' and 'copied from'? As a design agency we have to address this issue on a day to day basis.
By: Lemon Yellow 1.Is it okay to copy? Yes and No. When one is in the process of learning, it is okay to copy from something you love or an artist you admire. Copying is the part of the process of how art evolves. To understand your craft better, it is a good way to start by copying your master and simultaneously learning from the experience. So as long as you are learning, it is okay to copy but what is unethical is to pass off that work as your own creation. This is where Copyright Law came into place – to protect authenticity! 2.Inspired Not Copied : Every designer will relate to the feeling of getting inspired by something and wanting to recreate it in their own style; with the lingering fear of copying it completely. It is a dilemma that most design agency folks go through. So, how do we stay inspired without compromising on originality? 3.The final verdict : Therefore, it is right to say that the line between copy and inspiration is very fine. However, the best way to stay away from copying is to step back, take a good look at your creation and compare it with the source of inspiration. Your heart will always know whether you are on the wrong side or right! http://lemonyellow.net/ End
