I’ve never seen such a copy of my work
- enkiv2 11y agoIf this guy has so much pride in his work & the years of research it took to produce it, why does he want it limited to a single mediocre German tabloid?
- jameskilton 11y agoPlease don't blame the victim. This is a legitimate grievance. The polish paper very obviously stole his work.
- steveeq1 11y ago"copied" the work is a more accurate word. Not to say that it isn't bad (it is).
- rtb 11y agoI think you mean "copied", not "stole". Bild am Sonntag can continue to use their layouts.
- enkiv2 11y agoThe polish paper copied his design. But, as the designer, he hasn't lost anything (unless he was bidding for a chance to apply the same design to that polish paper and lost the bid to this other person). He didn't lose money, prestige, or anything else through this. (There's a good reason why look and feel isn't really protected by IP law, except in the realm of trademarks -- because, unless there's some kind of deception, nothing is lost by mimicing the look and feel of something else.) He's not a victim, because nothing has been taken from him. The person who copied his design gained something, and so did the paper that paid that person, but the original creator lost nothing.
- bovermyer 11y agoIt's very similar, but the design elements are definitely spun in a different direction. For example, the airplane graphic - the design on the tail is the same, but it's a different plane from a different angle with a different backdrop. This is riffing, not stealing. It's a trend throughout art as long as art has been a thing.
- atmosx 11y agoHm, I had the exact same thought. But then again, the designer is NOT the author of Bild's abominations (err articles). Truth to be told, I don't see anything worth 'years of research', but still... He has a point. It's a page-for-page copy. I hope they don't copy the content too. ps. Actually he is a really good designer, but you'd have to take a look at his website to figure out[1]. [1] http://saulosantana.com http://saulosantana.com

- atmosx 11y ago> [...] to figure out the best solutions for the biggest sunday newspaper in Europe, and they copied just like this? Really? IS build Sunday's newspaper in Europe? No wonder the EU is about to dissolved, then.
- Brotkrumen 11y agoI don't read tabloids, but to me both look highly generic.
- jack-r-abbit 11y agoI was thinking the same thing. I've seen all those elements in other papers before. I guess the issue is that they used all the same elements in all the same ways. shrug

- nedwin 11y agoYou see these exact same design tropes throughout all newspapers around the world. Remove the language and it looks like three different papers I know in Australia and half a dozen in the UK. Or is this guy claiming to be the source for all newspaper graphic design from the last 10+ years?
- wodenokoto 11y agoIsn't this out of the designers hands by now? Doesn't Bild own the design and isn't it their problem to enforce its copyright?
