Oh, and some might consider it fairly crazy to try to claim "odd shaped boxes". I mean seriously, juicy's posts making fun of AlienQ saying "I invented"? You're literally saying "I invented odd shaped boxes".

please show me where I said "I invented" it, since it's not a secret that comes from 50's pop design (which I love). I just said I used it A LOT throughout the years, and same as some designer come be recognized by the fonts, or colors, or shapes, these stacked odd shaped boxes are one of my most recurrent elements. But let's assume I did use them for the first time, we still have the following:
1) of course you're wrong, there's no flipped boxes. But even then, nothing would change
2) you're saying that a site on the EXACT same niche will have the EXACT design elements and the EXACT colors and it's a coincidence? If so, I have a bridge to sell you!
3) any decent designer know that there are styles and trends dictated by cultural, market and social contexts, which means similarities and unperceived influences are common. Yet there's not a single example of advertisement, design, art, etc that shares ALL the most specific elements at the same time (let alone off time cultural subjects like 50's design) without being a copy.
4) Therefore, you're saying this: this designer chose the EXACT palette, for the EXACT niche and the EXACT design element because... he's also a fan of 50's pop design! But wait... did I design that without noticing it?
5) You, one of the few designers in this board that tried to be different attacking me? and on top of that, embarrassing yourself in the process? I really thought you were smarter than that, but well.... maybe you're having a bad day
