Ad Agency Ogilvy & Mather Totally Rips Off My Obscene Interiors
Here’s some images from my book Obscene Interiors: Hardcore Amateur Decor. These are real online personal ad pictures posted by men. In my book I gray out their silhouette and comment on the interior design, or lack thereof, they’re posing in.
Here’s some images from a print campaign for Lorgan’s, an Asian chain store dealing in retro furnishings. If campaign Executive Creative Director, Todd McCracken; Creative Director, Eric Yeo; or Art Director, Kat Tan care to respond to what I see as a blatant case of plagiarism (or at least severe unoriginality), please send me an email because I’m sad now.

Well the obvious difference… yours were all greyed out actual photos. There’s are cardboard cutouts. Yay for difference..
No seriously..
Sadly the ‘design/marketing’ industry is very well known for unoriginal thinking and canabilizing ideas from other sources/people’s designs.
While I agree it was wholy unoriginal, I do think you’ll have a rough time in a court case with this one.
Good luck!
