    I think some of those are purposely takes off the originals though.... I don't think anyone expected to "hide" the fact that they were derivatives, and sometimes I think that was the point.

    Yeah I mean cmon...

    Most of these would be called "tributes" rather than rips. Does anyone seriously think this will intended as a rip?

    BTW, I read and reread the blogger's post but I can't quite decipher what his intent is. It's completely incoherent.

    not to mention they're all pretty much all gig posters... which is pretty much fair game to rip from history books as you please.

    I guess that is a total valid point. A tribute is one thing, and a rip another. I don't agree that a timeline makes it more right. I noticed Mr. Fairey in there and I blew a gasket.

    I hate that shit, soulless tossers.

    I once did a pitch to design agency wanting their website redesigned and developed. I did the pitch (informal) they loved the designs, but decided they didnt want to redo it all. ok...

    A month later their site looked identical to the designs i did. i should have bombed their asses.

    Bet you all have a similar story.

    • That's totally different than taking inspiration from a poster that was designed 50 years before you were born.– Frosty_spl1/2

    there's been unprecedented, exponential growth of the graphic design discipline over the last twenty years, and 90% of the designers today lack talent and originality, so the appropriation of older imagery is completely natural and it sustains the lower depths of the industry.

    the only problem I see with half this stuff is that the imagery doesn't correlate with the information.

    It's one thing to be influenced by a design style and using that style in your creative thinking and design layouts, but most of what we have hear is just a plain rip off, Sad really.

    The Toolbag Shepard Fairey made it on the list, congrats!
    Well, at least he is copying Josef Müller-Brockmann.

    Amazing how many of those cool gig posters are really just repurposed graphics from the past. Are there no original ideas?

    A lot of those are direct lifts, mostly for concert posters where the imagery makes absolutely no sense in the new context.

    Also, telling how in almost all cases the rip is much weaker design than the original. It's not hard to make something original, so why do people waste their time ripping stuff off? laziness

    Shepard Fairey rips and twists, this is different from just ripping
