As promised

I have been thinking about my use of "inspiration" in my designs. Sometimes I worry that I am treading too near the source. In fact, I did use an illustration straight from a Bolshevik poster once. Which brings me to this weeks prompt.

That is a website that details some of Shepard Fairy's 'borrowed' works. I was thinking that this could be an opportunity to get this sort of thing out of our systems, or at least give us the opportunity to explore our feelings on the subject. I was thinking that it would be fun to re use a design that we like for our own purposes. Anything is fair game, the design can be changed as little or as much as you want, but there must be a noticeable change.

Still here

I still plan to continue with this project, though not at this moment. I have one more week to go until I am done with summer term. I would like to pick this back up the week after next.

I was thinking that I would like to hear suggestions for prompts if anyone would like to do so. Full credit will be given of course, I don't plan to take credit for someone else's work. Until the next prompt, I would encourage everyone to pick a prompt they haven't taken part in if you would like to start back again a little early. If I find some time, I may do that as well. The next prompt I have in mind is quite provocative. I am very interested to see if anyone will take the bait.
