Over the last few quarters the subject of plagiarism has been a constantly recurring topic. Written plagiarism (or accidentally cutting and pasting from Wikipedia) is much easier to see, but what about design plagiarism? Below are two published images. The first is an illustration by Michael Schwab from a campaign promoting recycling. The second is an advertisment for wallcoverings. While the image from the first is clearly used in the image from the second, does this count as plagiarism? Describe why or why not. Feel free to add any examples that you have found to this posting.

This is not plagiarism. The artist of the wall-covering advertisement is simply recycling the artwork created by Michael Scwab.
After taking Art and Law, I think it's not plagiarism. There are similarities but it's a very different concept. The design of both have very different vibes and styles and also the images are slightly different. In comparison to words, it is like saying a simple phrase in two different ways.
