Build: I think your a brilliant designer, its just everytime I look at your work I can always tell when you've done it. This isn't necessarily a bad thing its just they always look 'too' similat. Do you always have clients requesting the same look???
Everytime you post something or I read about what you've done I always want to check it out with the hope you've done something different, as I do respect you as a designer....
I guess its not a bad thing having your own style, Im just interested in how you approach each job?
Its not a dis Im just honestly interested???
Also, did you ever get fed up of using heavy helvetica all the time at tDR........?!??!?
joke :P

is the designershock site not just a bit of a fucking shambles?
- uncle_helv0
I think build has a very distinct visual style, and the Designer Shock site looks like it has been created, in a very similar vein, whether aware or not, that is why I asked the question, is this Build?
If you look around you can see styles being re-cycled, take Mike Cina for example, I think he is very aware of what was going on across the atlantic at tDR, but if we are going to start saying that, then anyone who uses a grid, sans serif can be accused of robbery from the likes of Brockmann, Ruder et al...

but recycling is not ripping off...
the DS site is a blatant ripping off case

it is dubious, yes.

"its just everytime I look at your work I can always tell when you've done it."
does this even need explanation?
- mitsu0
this place kills me.
if your work slightly resembles someone elses, you are biting and lack creativity.
if your work is unique, strong, and consistant, you are confining yourself and apparently lack creativity too.
the world awaits enligtenment from the NT design community.

it's fast, innit?

right on mitsu.
it's the same everywhere you go. the ones up front get cut to pieces first. the moral majority of the frustrated masses spreads like an epidemic. advanced capitalist society.

spent – what a lot of shite.
'signature' indeed.
well, if you mean he always puts 'design by build / michael c place ' about 40 times on every item/page, then yes. I laughed at the creative review article, easily 10 self mentions, like we didn't know he'd done it or something.

overexposure is always a good thing.
