Designing Under the Influence:I thought this article to be extremely relevant in pertaining to today's ever increase in visuals and graphics, especially to a young graphics student (me). "Copying" and "ripping off" someone else's work is always consciously in the back of my mind while working. I think the author made a good point in saying, "We've debated imitation, influence, plagiarism, homage and coincidence before, and every time, the question eventually comes up: is it possible for someone to "own" a graphic style? Legally, the answer is (mostly) no. And as we sit squarely in a culture intoxicated by sampling and appropriation, can we expect no less from graphic design?" It is definitely something that should be thought about and taken a little more seriously by the design world.
