Well=20

In all honesty - the first thing you should do is accept that there are
things that should be considered unnaceptable practice - and that is
plagarising someone elses work

Secondly don=B9t post on a forum like this full of pro designers showcasing
examples of plagarised work

If members here can spot it - so can your potential employers


But in all honesty - would it not be more satisfying to create your own
work?
