One even goes as far as to claim they designed the latest Barbie Logo!!! They've taken another calligraphers work, loaded it in InDesign and brushed it up and made it look as if it were their own. Very frustrating!<br /><br />Good luck to you. I'm so sorry this has happened.

I think this sort of behaviour is appalling but I fear it goes on all too often. I wonder how many other designers images are being churned out in the Far East and elsewhere. With the Internet it is now so easy to obtain other peoples' work. I hope you are able to get something done about it.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095469968246647873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30151271.post-61018695862748630042009-08-04T03:18:06.535+01:002009-08-04T03:18:06.535+01:00Totes not cool.

Kindly ask to be compensated for your illustrations.<br /><br />I know it's a bit forward, but I know a guy who showed his portfolio to an advertising agency, and the same thing happened. A few years later they copied one of his idea and he asked for compensation. They were so embarressed they couldn't refuse.<br /><br />Good Luck!!ALPHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245459758726072356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30151271.post-64035013583020346992009-07-28T00:10:21.645+01:002009-07-28T00:10:21.645+01:00I've been following your blog for about 6 mont...I've been following your blog for about 6 months now and adore those lovely birds [and shoes...] Hope karma bites the copycat in the *%#!<br /><br />Michele<br />Montreal, CanadaMichele L.

I can understand the sinking/sick feeling you get when you come across something that is quite clearly a rip-off of your work – I've had it done to me both as a journalist and a copywriter. Not nice at all. You totally have to wonder how on earth someone thinks it's ok to do that? <br /><br />So best of luck with whatever your plan is... but don't let them spoil you sharing your work – my work day would certainly be a little less brighter without seeing your cute illustrations. xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30151271.post-7131508951774596832009-07-27T15:34:53.220+01:002009-07-27T15:34:53.220+01:00this is so bloody annoying :(
