what would you do if your client ask you to rip off the style of another web site?
actually i put myself in this situation when i passed them some links to watch and now i feel so helpless...
help!
- Rand0
normally, I would refuse
if my family was starving I might reconsider

I also explained them my reason but their answer is basically "we dont care"...
on the other side it's a relative small job and i wouldnt put it in my portfolio never ever ...

Find another site that they like equally much and rip them both 50%.

show them more sites and confuse them, then design your own way.
- lnu0
No, I'm joking but my point is you've got to distract them with another hot design to let them see that there are more possibilities.
- 67nj0
good point.
put more stuff on the table and confuse them...thanx
- JazX0
nahhhh.... art imitates art, just go with it and swtich things around.

ask them what they like about the site they've shown .. the structure? the colors .. what? and then design your own with that in mind. mkay?
i mean you want to sleep at night i imagine. you could be the next topic on nt .. RIP!
haha. best of luck.

i know but the time involving to get this done is also a major issue for me...
cheap is the bille and cheap will be the job (although im not going to tell them)
fortunately its not a big deal

so wise, so young
- 67nj0
young?
i bet im one of the older guy in here...
but i keep acting like a child all the time...
- Rand0
sorry, I meant salisae
I'm old too

design something they like more...no need to rip if you are good enough;-)
otherwise....
....copy the source code and replace text and images....get paid a lot, dont put this work on the portfolio, and search for new cooler clients.
