'hey, momento, speak up man. even if you're alone at this, fuck it, speak out and defend your opinion.'
I kind of did Sir in my previous post about the UK Design Press, which is not GTF's fault - hence my explanation.
As for ego's...I once designed a booklet for a well known publishing company and the booklet included various vector drawn studio's with the usual elements. One of which was a chair, which just so happened was a similar chair that appeared in a piece that GTF had produced.
The publishing company got a letter claiming that I had copied them and was in breach of copyright - because obviously they owned the chair (not), nor did they own the rights to the style it was drawn - unless they do own the 'vector' style (which is likely).
So I went to meet them after a talk they were giving and face-to-face they were really nice guys who excused themselves from writing the letter and apologised. Which does lend itself to the comment that they don't have ego's (I went on to get drunk with them that night), but to write a letter with those kind of accusations was rediculous.
Anyway their work is great, the site is old, and UK design press are quite lazy - done.
