Hey, Asians!
It's been a while, hasn't it? Don't worry though, we haven't forgotten the forum at all 😆
Things are in the planning stage for the upcoming contest(s), so watch this space
Anyhoo, let's get on with the topic for today. As you all may have noticed, we recently posted a Suggestion thread and there were lot of approvals for the discussion topics.
So here we are!
Our discussion topic for this month is based on the idea of inspiration.
Be it on IF or Tumblr, we come across some absolutely amazing signatures/avatars. They are so pretty that we are tempted to create something quite like it. It inspires us, which is great. Be it a test style, signature style or just the concept of the signatures, taking an inspiration from someone or something is great. It just goes on to broaden our PS experience.
But how much is just inspiration and how much is over-inspiration?
How can we limit the difference between the two?
There's a big difference between the two concepts, Inspiration is being inspired by someone's style and giving it your own touch to it. Whereas over-inspiration is plainly copying the style with no credit to that person.
However, sometimes it's hard to differentiate between the two concepts. For example - If one person has "come up" with a new signature style, how can you determine that someone else hasn't thought of that style before? It's a tricky question to answer to.
So what do you have to say about this topic?
How would you describe the two terms?
Let us know your thoughts.
Until then,
be good.
