    Let's assume that graphic design is the search for a visual solution to a problem. Perhaps there isn't always just one correct solution (as someone like Paul Rand would claim), but there are definitively incorrect solutions.

    So if Designer #1 comes up with a design solution that is incorrect in the context of one design problem, but then Designer #2 "rips" that same design solution and correctly applies it to a different design problem, should Designer #1 just shut the hell up?

    And should Designer #2 be given credit for being "smart" and providing his client with a good design solution? And ignore the fact that he committed plagiarism.

    Likely this would be a rare case. But maybe there are cases where plagiarism is somewhat justifiable.
