Copyrighting is a good way to protect your designs or art. As a creative person my self, this copyright law allows me to protect my art and lets everybody know that it is mine. Copyrighting is important because it can prevent people from stealing someone elses work. A Creative Commons allows the person to costomize their copyright so that another person can use the work to an extent. I like the creative commons because I don’t think I would mind people using my design; thats what I made it for. I wouldn’t mind if they used it as long as they wouldn’t clame it as their own. I don’t think I know most of what the copyright law entails but I get the jist of it. Please clarify on anything if you think I am wrong.
When Picaso said that good designers copy and great designers steal I wasn’t exactly sure what he ment. Sure you can take someone elses design and spin it to make it your own or even be inspired by the art work and make up something similar to that design. I’ve done this before. I understand that good designers copy but I don’t quite understand the “great designers steal” part. Did he meen just taking someone elses work and calling it your own? If someone could clerify this, that would be nice.
