When ideas are just too similar… Above: back and front cover of a promotional brochure for Mohawk Fine Papers by VSA Partners, first shown on FPO on October 2010. Below: a double poster by Public Bikes appearing in select Gap stores, first shown on their blog on March 2011 (detail of the poster at the link). Coincidence or plagiarism? Comments are open.
