Reading this blog I was thinking on were I stand in the group of people out there. A good or great designer, and I concluded that I am neither. Its just that I am blessed with plenty of time to sit and troll through sites. I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t think up of most of the designs on my page on my own. Sites like CSS Zen Garden provide plenty of inspiration and helpful little ideas.
I see the idea of why he says its not a bad thing to copy since there are time constraints and other job related things. Its hard to come up with anything original in this day and age anyways. Its almost guaranteed that anything you say do or think of has already been done or thought of by another living person. With that said I guess we are all going to have to do what we were told was wrong in grade school, we will copy borrow and steal to make a living; that is within reason.
