Could this be almost flagrant copying since the thought is the same even if the words are different? My apologies, but Melanie said it SO much better. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/724003/0?keyword=2009#6549439
This rant doesn\'t even start to encourage me to post and ask for critiques and help. Quite the opposite. I\'m still at the point of getting the basics, so everything I\'ve done has probably been done many times before but much better. Yes, I often use a border when posting photos. Thin black, thick white. Totally non-oriiginal. I used to design web sites and often did things like that, depending on subject and where it\'s displayed. On a grey background, white sets off better IMO.
I really do feel for those who get \"flagrantly copied\". There are probably some who\'ll read this and say \"Amen!\". Thankfully there are many willing to put up with those of us who are trying to learn and find our own way, our own styles. Would a potential artist never picked up a paint brush for fear of copying those who went before him? Or would he study and copy the styles of those he admires as he learns? There is copying for the sake of being lazy, but there is also trying to replicate in order to learn. Mel\'s advice is so very great. Take those things that inspire and try to look at it a new way. Put your own twist on it.
