0 jackwanders Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Jeez...looks like a complete rip off. Yours, however, is done much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 uniacidz Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Yeh rip off. Yours much nicer. Have you tried to contact him? But one thing though, was the design a part of a template in the program you used to design the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sphere Posted April 27, 2003 Author Share Posted April 27, 2003 But one thing though, was the design a part of a template in the program you used to design the site? Nope. All the graphics and layout were totally made from scratch by me in Photoshop, then I developed the html in Dreamweaver. I didn't take any ideas or templates from other places. All came from my head.

0 nanackle Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 While that design is not mine, I designed a website VERY similar for a French class not long ago... all I can say is that while this looks like an original idea.... well.. its hard to have an original idea these days. The other site does look like a rip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Darti Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 sorry sphere it was my site, i was trying to make a site, havent made one before, i liked the idea of layout of your site and i used that, i should have contacted you first, and i am sorry about that, didnt mean any offence by it or anything, i was going to make it then email you and ask if it was ok to use it, but looks like you found it first ! sorry again. I only used the layout and i was going to include your site in the links section as a 'design idea' . i have taken the site down now. looks like i have upset loads of people on the board too :cry: sorry about that people, i was just trying to make a site. i love coming on the board and i hope that a little thing like this doesnt mean that i get banished to the far corners of the earth (or the board :D ) sorry again Darti please check your PM.

0 Chadwick Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 um, that layout, is very common if your into web design, its used alot for portfolio sites, haveing hte nav in columns at hte bottom like that. if it was your files etc. than thats one thing, but hte overall layout isn't original to your site.

0 persianpsycho Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 other site aint working? taken down... When your gonna design a website, never look at other sites for ideas, cuz when you do you end up copying some aspects which at the time you dont think is too obvious, but your final product ends up simular to it, and people get mad at you. I did that a while back, except i didn't simply copy the layout, i looked at someones site for ideas. Then i went ahead to make it and it ended up being real close to that other site, and the person found out and long story short i was hated by lots of peeps.

0 kobayashi Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 @ darti i think it's nice that you came forward with your mistake (though it's not a capital crime...) most great painters started out by copying... just don't sell it as your original artwork! :cry: @ sphere look at the bright side of it: darti loved your design :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
