This book addresses the issues of inspiration, influence and plagiarism in today's graphic design practice. Discussing concepts such as nostalgia, cliche, parody, and revival, the authors help designers determine whether they are "borrowing" or "stealing" and ultimately aid them in establishing a legitimate and meaningful relationship with the past. Case studies with accompanying illustrations highlight both good and bad examples of borrowed design. This book should be of interest to graphic designers.
