Design is not about the image that is produced. It is about the conditions wherein the design exists.
What would Dutch Design have been without imitation? It would not exist. And today’s tools provide even more opportunity to copy. Not only that, they force you to copy. (Isn’t it weird that all designers work with the same software?) This is only the beginning. Strong design reproduces itself. Make sure your work will be copied. Stimulate your own imitators.
