InfiniteGreen Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I just came back from Montreal where they were promoting the upcoming Montreal Jazz Festival. Maybe I am just suffering from too much Mika-on-the-mind, but I found the artwork to be a bit "DaWack-inspired" (although, I wouldn't necessarily call it plagiarism)... http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/Fijm2008/images/fonds_ecrans/fond_ecran_fijm1024x768.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricia4u Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 before mika came along there was alot of art work done this way . did nobody even thought he get his inspiration from somewhere?

But Patito Feo took not only the style, but every single element of Mika's art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaaloverr Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, and what surprises me the most is that they're so similar... I mean, you can draw some circles and you could call it "suspicious" but this cover is waaaaay too alike. The arrows, the piano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you can draw some circles and you could call it "suspicious" but this cover is waaaaay too alike. The arrows, the piano  And the circles that have the exact same colour pattern as the one on LiCM, coincidence? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricia4u Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 no it's definetly not a coincidence they have used his album as an example thats obvious. but the problem is you can use elements of a design and put them in other places than the original, put some of your own stuff and then i'ts your own design. thats legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That's beautiful but not "DaWack-inspired" at all. If anything, it looks a lot closer to the 70s style artwork that Dawack/Mika must have gotten their inspiration from themselves. Â Â Â Clouds. Â Rainbows. Rainbow cartoons! Â And swirlies and flowers. Â Â And look at what I get when I google "retro circles." Â --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasia87 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 wow.. that's beyond bizarre.. what did they just cut and paste, change a few colours and lines and what they wanted from the original cover and think it'd be okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
