After being drawn to a series of posters in creative review created by DDB London for the Harvey Nichols sale, the posters featuring manikins diving for cover and looking scared at the prospect of a sale and i decided i wanted to write about them for my blog and went online to find abit more info and i came across the following site which is a french advertising site and someone had posted this piece about pieces of design that they think are just copy's of other pieces of design.

The article in the site does feature the Harvey Nichols posters and while they are the same with the use of manikins in a state of self defense and terror i have to say that i feel the Harvey Nichols posters are much better as the other company's posters the manikins have faces and i think that they just make it over the top and don't have the same emotional feeling the Harvey Nichols poster give of so personally i don't think they are a direct copy but may have been influenced and actually done much better, and this made me think is anything really 100% original anymore and what do we have to do for someone to not to accuse us of stealing an idea for example my fmp can be said to be similar to the Audi rhythm of lines project but i have put my own spin on the idea and the only reason i have done something similar is because i was so impressed by it in the first place so on the issue brought up by the website my own opinion is that there is stealing in design only designers trying to be like the the people and work that has inspired them and that is what keeps the creative industry going and getting people involved when they see something that impresses them so much they have to have a go.
