I thought I'd be more bothered about the 1:1 but made me realize that since going in-house I've just been so burnt out (sole creative to a chaotic startup with runway to burn) that I've given up on caring taking pride in creative 🥲

Could also be a client giving competitor your design they used, and just sent your pdf to the other company to use... Ive had that happen. Have also had a client say I want this ad again in your pub and get it from so n so. And other company says no way. It took a long time to find art and create this... So I had to search and find the exact image again and redo the ad. Also been sent a pdf that was used elsewhere that was a different size and have to pull the Pdf apart and resize everything.

It's a specialized smaller industry in tech, so the work is on our site and the difference in style between their original work and the replicated work is pretty obvious 🤷🏻‍♀️

I guess I would if it was super blatant. However, I generally just feel like nothing is super original in the branding world that it’s kind of like whatever. People also arrive at similar ideas at similar times, so idk, don’t know if I care like that anymore.
