Artvoice, Hero Design, and Design Theft
Hero Design may just be my favorite company in this burg. Their posters are consistently awesome and the boutique on Allen has a great collection of Kid Robot etc. I mean, when was the last time you were featured in Spin Magazine? That's what I thought.
Their design work is so good in fact, that Artvoice has apparently stolen some. The post to which I link is a must read -- and the images tell the story.
Now, that just takes raw guts. Stealing art from a company just around the corner? Isn't the internet big enough to find something else to plagiarize?
Perhaps there is some kind of misunderstanding here. I have yet to hear AV's take on this story, and I look forward to it. From the Hero side, though, the whole thing reeks of laziness and hubris. That's right: not just regular old pride -- tragic-plot-starting hubris.
