This pisses me off. // August 24, 2009

Every time I pass EDSA from my house, on the way to watch a movie over at Trinoma, I see this very annoying ad from Giordano:

Look familiar to you?

It’s one thing to rip off designs. People do it all the time. I’m not saying it’s right, just that it’s a fact of life. This is why laws to protect artists and their “intellectual property” have been made. This is why “copyright” exists. I really have no doubt in my mind that it is nearly 100% impossible to get rid of copycats. But to lift a design almost directly from a “non-profit movement” is really frakking heinous.

I have no idea if this design was copied from To Write Love On Her Arms with their permission or not, but either way, this just really pisses me off.

In design, good causes

Hello! My name is Carina Santos. I'm 21 years old, and I design stuff for a living. Writing is my first love. I like quoting Harry Potter, oversharing on the Internet, and places that echo. And, just so you know, I care about the Oxford comma. More!
