JFife 14 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 I think I agree with Lance on this, the flyer is the property of the person that contracted the service. Being said, I could see both parties being aggitated. Just a different form of "lowballing". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 14 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 Some companies in KBX's line of work keep all rights to the art and the buyer is buying the time to manufacture and layout the work and the use of the finished product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Stapleton 14 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 IMHO if you can't come up with something original you should'nt get the extra work that it brings, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted June 23, 2006 KBK designed the publication. He sold a version of it containing company specific info to a particular buyer. The original artwork, I would think is still his. He makes his living doing this. I'm glad you are asking if you can use it, most just take without asking.

kbkgraphx 14 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Obviously this is something I'll need to address concretely in the future on my website, etc. I look at it this way.... if you get the OK from a colleague to use a design I did for them, fine, it's bought and paid for and you're sharing the wealth. However, if it's just being ripped off the internet or such, not cool. Taking credit for one of my designs is another thing entirely and is punishable by public ridicule (i.e. tar & feather or being called on it on this very forum). ALSO, keep in mind, if the file that is stolen off the internet is sent to print or such, it WILL print like crap as it isn't a print quality file. This all comes down to a matter of personal integrity which 99% of you definitley have in spades. I am very happy to offer my quality services at affordable rates and will continue to do so. A situation like the one in this thread is inevitable, as I've seen many similar instances during my years in the advertising business. Where there's meat there's vultures (or something like that).

Mike Williamson 198 Report post Posted July 11, 2006 Keith Bruce from KBK Graphx designed "Give your House a Bath". Why are YOU taking credit for this? He didn't even change the pictures. Wonder where he went? Hasn't posted in 3 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MMI Enterprises 289 Report post Posted September 2, 2006 Exact design infringement is one thing...slogan claim is another. Who's saying they came up with the slogan and when?? I've seen it floating around my parts at least 15 years ago before I was in pressure cleaning business but in traditional janitorial business. The star bursts and other objects are all free clip art objects people been using since Win 3.1 days.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that it is just sleazy to take another contractor's literature, created for him by a professional (and top notch) graphic designer, make minor changes to it, add your logo, and then post it online claiming to have designed it yourself!!! Not to mention, stupid, since the guy who designed it frequents this board. There may not (then again, there may) be anything illegal about it...but it is just sleazy.

HotShot 34 Report post Posted September 3, 2006 Beth, you drink a lot of coffee it seems. What kind do you like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted September 3, 2006 Well, I drink what's on sale in the stores...but I like it mild rather than too strong. If the Starbucks beans are on sale I'll get them, if not, oh well... Only drink it in the morning. I'm not an all day coffee drinker. I also like my coffee with cream and sugar.

I like the French Roast, and it is about $4.00 cheaper per bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thad 135 Report post Posted September 8, 2006 Beth, don't let him send you anything that tastes that good if you can't easily get more of it. :D Some friends of ours went to Hawaii a while back and brought me a big ol' bag of pure Kona right off of the farm. Great stuff, but the way I go through coffee I'm not going to foot the bill to keep myself supplied. So now I sit around and mope and remember the good ol' days. And stick to my fresh ground 8 O'clock Bean french roast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, whoever is packaging for Publix, they've done a GREAT job of imitating Starbucks to a T. Did/do you work for Starbucks, or have some inside contacts? I would think that even if they DID package for store brands, they wouldn't want that information out. Just curious how you'd know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarowe 14 Report post Posted September 8, 2006 Keith of KBX Your work is tremedous. You do some really nice quality stuff at very reasonable prices. When the time comes you will be on the short list for graphic designers. By the way. What would it cost to get my logo and contact info on that black and white 'home bath' flyer and sent to me on a file that I can get some good quality prints from. Thanks in advance.
