I think some of those are purposely takes off the originals though.... I don't think anyone expected to "hide" the fact that they were derivatives, and sometimes I think that was the point.

I hate that shit, soulless tossers.
I once did a pitch to design agency wanting their website redesigned and developed. I did the pitch (informal) they loved the designs, but decided they didnt want to redo it all. ok...
A month later their site looked identical to the designs i did. i should have bombed their asses.
Bet you all have a similar story.
- That's totally different than taking inspiration from a poster that was designed 50 years before you were born.Frosty_spl

anything with the same decade sure... "rips"... but i'd say most of these are acceptable.

not to mention they're all pretty much all gig posters... which is pretty much fair game to rip from history books as you please.

there's been unprecedented, exponential growth of the graphic design discipline over the last twenty years, and 90% of the designers today lack talent and originality, so the appropriation of older imagery is completely natural and it sustains the lower depths of the industry.
the only problem I see with half this stuff is that the imagery doesn't correlate with the information.

- What the fuck. Yeah, Art Chantry totally ripped off the use of the middle finger. give me a break.Thesocialgospel

That art chantry one really annoyed me. Mad magazine copyrighted use of the middle finger?
- __TM0
issue with the art chantry/mad is not the concept of using a middle finger in a poster (which has been done plenty of times) but the fact that they used MAD's finger drawing, which is obviously copyrighted.

I guess that is a total valid point. A tribute is one thing, and a rip another. I don't agree that a timeline makes it more right. I noticed Mr. Fairey in there and I blew a gasket.

Shepard Fairey rips and twists, this is different from just ripping
- Ugh... you would want your claim to fame to constantly be reworking existing art or imagery?ETM

Amazing how many of those cool gig posters are really just repurposed graphics from the past. Are there no original ideas?
