Description
Pablo Picasso is widely quoted as saying ‘Good artists copy, great artists steal’. In an era where algorithm-generated Instagram suggestions have become the new moodboards, it’s easier than ever to be a copycat. Being original is getting harder. But what does ‘originality’ actually mean anyway? In this episode, Ross and Ila discuss the pursuit of originality for the modern designer. With 40 years of his own work to reference, from tracing by hand in his early career to using AI modelling tools today, Ross shares how defining yourself as a true original has changed. In this conversation, Ross and Ila debate where inspiration crosses into plagiarism, and ask whether originality today requires a shock factor.
