The Day Originality, Creativity, and the Desire To Excel DIED


THE DAY ORIGINALITY, CREATIVITY, and the DESIRE TO EXCEL DIED!


I am one who would usually (often, actually) GET inspiration from various media whenever I am preparing advertisements, teasers, event concepts.

But this... coming from a Department who wants to send its message to the WORLD...
no more...no words in the dictionary fit for ...argh!


an attempt to deny the wrongful act only made it worse.
The Philippine tourism department swiftly denied it imitated the Polska official travel website badge, only to admit Friday it actually did, and countered: “First of all, Poland doesn’t have a copyright on the font.”


And the ART OF BLAMING OTHERS is utilized...
“We shall take this experience as a cautionary tale against giving in to the client and allowing their over-enthusiasm to override our better judgment. It was a reminder that the road to perdition is paved with good intentions,” Consunji said.






Now, feel the wrath of the people...

Anonymous was more harsh in his comment: “Disgrace. Total disgrace. If there is little self-respect to the designer who made this, the only option is to resign and pursue another profession.


“Design is not about good layout, cool colors and fantastic use of fonts. It is an expression of excellence and a rendition of dignity. I see none of these from this shameless work.”

Blogger Richie was, well, comical. "Maybe it’s just a coincidence... a coincidence that the fonts are the same, same waves, same started with P, both have tree. Do you think there are just too many coincidences? I think so, too.”
