  originality has only come about in the last 60 years in my opinion.. designers (of anything) have usually tried to stay with the tried and true norms of the day. the ones that we remember today were the influential ones and tried something different.
  ie: carson in the early 90's, vignelli in the 50-60's with strict grids (he's an asshole though), hell, even cina with his clean vectors when everyone seemed to be doing the opposite.

  now look at how many styles are copied off of those today:
  carson - can we say everyone and their bro??
  vignelli - everyone and their bro
  cina - everyone, their bro, and their next door neighbor

  ripping is all relative, but it'll never get your recognized
