I was trying to find a cheesy pic of a lawyer but I came across this and thought this will do.

Just to be clear... we're comparing these two maps, right?
Yours:
Theirs:
- Right! There's also a dark blue one of mine.huegelbonn
- I saw that too. For some reason this seemed more fitting since it was lighter. I like yours more.monospaced
- Clearly they were inspired by your map design. Very nice BTW.utopian
- I think their overlapping and fake overprint multiply is just sloppy.monospaced
- I agree. Yours is nicer.Jimbo82
- your's is way nicer in my opinion. you should start a qbn print exchange and send these out.capn_ron
- For what it's worth, I prefer yours..********
- I agree. Yours.dopepope
- Yup. Yours is MUCH nicer.jacklalane

Hmmmm!?! did you design this also?
- Haha, the one on the wall is almost exactly the same!qTime
- yes.teh
- That wall graphic is also available on a stock site in the SAME COLORS as the OP's.monospaced
- Hmm interesting!teh
- Of course I know Paula Sheers Maps. But come on, they are in a totally different style. I love them, by the way.huegelbonn
- The wall tattoo was the first shameless rip. It's around for about 1,5 years now. The guys are from England. Shame on you.huegelbonn
- so are you saying you ripped them huegel?teh
- No, they did. Last word was swallowed: Shame on them.huegelbonn

This is all bollocks. SO you made a text based map and so did someone else, now it's time to have a better idea. Or just cry in the corner till your mum comes home and strokes your hair.

I did some searching and there are lots of maps that are similar. Someone might even say you ripped them. Just be glad that you created one that's well executed, even if it wasn't for a big public client.

Is this yours too?
- This is not mine. I recognized a couple of week before. It's the most shame rip: Same font, same colors.huegelbonn

These guys took it to the next level. Different languages.
- unless you did this one toomonospaced
- I did this one...goldieboy
- I think this is the nicest version, to be honest.monospaced
- I did this one!teh
- i didnt know hawaii was a countryephix
- I DID THIS ONE!goldieboy
- This one in not mine, but the guy who did it has my respect. He did it right. First of all he credited me, and then he brought the idea to the next level. I guess that's what we call "progress".huegelbonn
- the next level. I guess that's what we call "progress".huegelbonn

Some of it is eerily similar, almost identical. Brasil, Argentina.
- I know this is yours, I'm comparing it to the one I show two posts up.monospaced

Raid71 vs Jonathan Makcjfclarence - sorry if this is not relavent to this thread... but I think is a good question about what we so called 'ripped off in design'...cjfclarence

Is this yours also:

Guys, I know how to google, so all of the examples I have seen before.
Believe me, when I started in middle 2008 I did massive research if there was anything similar. Not because I thought I had reinvented the wheel, but to be sure not to spend so much time on a thing somebody else did already before.
During that time there where only these things around:
Paula Scheers Maps:Three or four motives of Orkposters: http://www.orkposters.com/
And this one:
If you do some research you will see, all the other came later on.
If you google "Typomaps" you will see, that, when I published it, it massively went through the internet and print publications.But that's all not the point. It's not about ripping or getting ripped in general. I was just astound, that one of the worlds leading design agencies copies in such an obvious way. I mean, I'm only a one man show – they have millions of employees ;-). There must be so much creativity around that place, that they do not need to copy something.
I'm off for weekend now. Have a nice one.
- you had to do research to see if "there was anything similar" ? This is a very common approach to maps, and has been for at least three years.wordssssss
- been for at least three years.wordssssss
- But he's talking about starting 4 years ago. He's the one that actually started the trend.********
- dude, the above image was published in 2008, it preceded yours, ergot, you ripped it.futuremongolian
