what sucks about this whole web design thing... you may have something original, but the higher-ups are checking out all the latest sites... something new comes out, and they fall in love with it and want to have something like that. Then another new site comes out, and they change their mind to that design...

Yeah - surely, none of us invented the web. And all we do as humans is based on something that somebody else did.
But if you are in the design industry, you should at least aim at designing rather than replicating.If not - what's the point? There isn't even that much money to be made in the industry anymore!

I'm talking about the typicial - page by page, pixel by pixel rip off here...
We've all gone through it.
I'm not saying taking inspiration, I'm talking about sombodey just fucking duplicating your design.

And then, it is no longer original or unique or even different.
