The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be.
And that which is done is that which shall be done.
And there is no new thing under the sun.
(Ecclesiates 1:9:22)
Apple designer Jonathan Paul Ive must be a passionate bible reader. Or a big fan of German industrial designer Dieter Rams. Some of Rams’ design classics from the Sixties show striking similarities with today’s Apple products …

Tribute or plagiarism? What do you think?
By the way: There’s some serious “tributing” going on in our fast moving advertising business as well.
ADMIRROR detects “mysterious coincidents” in print ads. Very entertaining!

Ipod Iphone design plagiat ou inspiration
IPOD et IPHONE ont-ils un design qui est un plagiat ?? A gauche les créations d’un designer allemand, Dieter Rams, dans les années 70. A droite 2 objets récents d’Apple, le Ipod et le Iphone.. dessinés officiellement par Jonathan Paul

I love the BRAUN T3 pocket radio but I don’t think it looks like the iPhone or? You can just take other pocket radios, really a lot of them look the same…

Hello i was looking for cheeseburgers and stumbled across your website
Aug 20, 2009 at 7:23 pm
i see this was from a while back so i’m probably just typing into empty cyberspace… BUT the reversed gun ads are both rip offs from a skateboard graphic from 1990. the company was called union wheels and the graphic was for professional skater willy santos signature wheels. I had a t-shirt with that gun graphic on it. unfortunately i can’t remember the graphic designer’s name at the moment.
