Thank you for the feedback. Perhaps I did go too far. I will reduce the visual similarities and push up a less similar version. It really only took a few minutes to reproduce.


I don't think you should change anything. You put it together in a few hours and I don't see a valid reason for changing it.

One guy being annoyed that his super-elite design can be replicated in a matter of hours is not a reason to backtrack.

It took Curtis a lifetime of experience to end up with this design. Simplicity doesn't mean there wasn't hard work behind it.


Replication is an easy enough task for anyone competent with Photoshop or CSS/HTML. Copying his design idea is where the issue lies.

If it took more hours, would it be a bigger reason to backtrack?
