Things that make you go hmmm…
Ad agencies, they just can’t help being “inspired” by others can they? CR spotted this at the offices of M&C Saatchi last night - something about it was strangely familiar…
Yes, it’s just like Anthony Burrill’s famous poster (recently used on the cover of Wallpaper* as we posted a few weeks ago and shown above) but with an added layer of crapness.
Here’s the original poster, as sold at the Soma gallery here. You can also get them from Concrete Hermit. Maybe M&C could have just bought one instead of copying it, badly.

Funnily enough I’ve been wondering lately just how commonplace plagiarism in the creative industries, as I recently had an experience with a reputable web design agency where they had completely stolen another agency’s design, and all the respect I’d previously had for them completely went out the window
