Always remember why you have chosen to be in the creative industry – to create originality.

If a source of inspiration exist, give credit. It’s respect.

metalmonday has it right — there’s no way any UK creatives could have missed Kozyndan’s art — it’s in any Soho bookstore.

There’s a big reason ripping off ideas is bad guys — there’s consequences. Creative karma’s getting you now.

If anyone’s interested, the original Sony Balls spot was also a skit on Letterman in the 90’s. In the exact same location, he drops about 5,000 colored bouncy balls down a San Francisco street. Then he does it with watermelons. Could hardly be coincidence.

I haven’t ever said anything about because I love the work and don’t really think Juan Cabral or Fallon are guilty of anything but it should be noted when everyone talks about these ‘revolutionary’ creative ideas.

All still beautiful ads though. In this case, seems Kozydan should have been given credit.

[edit]

Albeit a very well done rip-off.

Come on.

I’d wager a good amount that the kozyndan images were in the original creative deck. That style is right up the alley of nearly all the creatives in the biz who staff their deck with the latest designer vinyl toys.

It’s a rip off. Pure and simple.

It makes sense to draw inspiration from everywhere (not just other advertising) but why not credit the originator, or even better, involve them in the production?

Nothing is a secret on the internet.

it happens all the time that you come up with something terrific and someone else has seen it somewhere. even when you know for a fact that you haven’t seen that piece before, the mere existence should kill your ad. that however doesn’t happen all the time. not always do you run into someone who has seen it before it goes to the client, through production, live. I actually have a piece on adcritic…erm…creativity online right now, where someone wrote in the comments I ripped off a new zealand ad agency and their glorious work. I don’t know the work, I still haven’t found it, but it stings and stinks.

my point here being: not everything is lazy people ripping each other off. I think that’s actually the vast minority. then again, I did once see a junior book with a famous nike campaign in it that I know for a fact jim riswold did.

if the original imac ad wasnt so iconic it would be acceptable. But this whole advert stinks of plagiarism
