I guess what the person did was only replacing the picture and did not change anything to it. The edges were being erased.

So far, all of you have put up card copies. But I found layout copies:

I am pretty sure I made this layout first.

Then some random person comes along and copies a piece of my layout and pastes it on an uglier looking layout... several times.
It's not as bad as directly copying the whole thing, but couldn't he be a little more creative?!

Oh, I see.
So, isn't it basically that when I, or someone else who has a bit of experience with graphic design, get inspired by someone's work, I actually copy it?

Its fine copying others' work if you admire them, but there're simple rules to follow:

1) Ask, ask, ask! Get permission from the original artist to use any part of their idea.
2) Innovate! Turn it into something new by adding elements of your own.
3) Show some respect by giving credit where it is due.
4) Don't screw the design by churning out low quality crap.

Alright I for one have made cards that look similar to PHX's .but my goal was to see if i could make ones similar to what he had and not be just complete rip offs

main thing is I've learned is making MCs loses its fun if you don't design your own cards

some I've been coming up with since i took a break for the past 3 months
new design1 new design2


PS PHX your way better at making layouts than I am XD

Hmm, I don't really feel that that's always the issue. I admit that I've also had people that I've drawn inspiration from when it comes to graphics, but even then, when I make mine, and I'm sure you do the same, you change things up a bit. You tweak 'em, make 'em look different, add in aspects of the design you've made up and such, am I right? That's completely different than just swapping out a font and a picture and calling someone else's stuff your own, right?

Oh god the bottom is such an obvious copy. The only thing that's different is that they chose some shitty hearts and shitty font. Their smaller font that they used to describe the club is also blurry and almost illegible. I almost want to question if the main graphic in the background is theirs or just something they found. It is cute though, but I'm a biased Sanae faggot. Regardless, obvious copy is too obvious.


Also, I've got a small issue regarding similar but not exact copy gfx with a friend...

I'll need to dig up some stuff to compare though, before I talk. Expect a post about it from me soon though.

Ok first off I wanna say I didn't join to make trouble. But I think maybe people are taking this stuff too seriously. Anyone on this site who makes layouts or cards is just borrowing someone else's stuff. You basically pick out pretty pictures and decorate them. I'm sure it's fun and it's impressive what some people have learned to do with their editing programs, but you have nothing to do with the creation of these anime/manga/characters or any images you use. And most of the ideas ANYONE uses came from someone else.

Maybe the "copycats" just liked a technique one of you used so much they wanted to see if they could learn to do it, too. Yeah, maybe their's didn't come out as nice as your's. I just wish that some of the people who are the best at decorating anime pictures would stop acting like any of this actually matters.

It's all the same. I even had rotator in upper part [as this person has now]. Only thing it lacks [this person's profile] is gif animation in the search bar.
And fancy bottom.

I usually dont have time to go round around much in MAL so all I see are just some similar types of member card (the styles, the borders, the username types, ...), but now I see in this club is a very similar 95% graphic stuff 0_o

.. Suddenly I wonder: How was they thinking when they design (copy) it like that? =="

-> Uhm, guess they think its rare for us to find out the original one, or they just dont care what we'll think about them, as long as their works look nice :/

Hmm, from what I see it, she knew she copied it and flaunting in loud and proud. That is, once SnG took his profile down first, thinking it wouldn't be copying if there are no two of the same profiles out at the same time. Sneaky, but got caught in the act...
