2) a) Most of the work I did was for college assignments which included a famous company’s logo but even so, I wasn’t specifically told to give credit to the original artist. When using other people’s designs, I try using stock websites like Adobe Stock. For my one free-lancing job, I was told what to do and I myself created a logo. For images that I couldn’t find on the stock website, I would credit the artist.
b) Fairey deserved the punishment as he also admitted what he did was wrong. “My wrong-headed actions, born out of a moment of fear and embarrassment, have not only been financially and psychologically costly to myself and my family,” Fairey knew what would have happened so instead of getting in contact with Associated Press, he decided to continue with his design. “but later admitted that he had been mistaken and had tried to cover up his mistake.” I think what Mr. Fairey got for his final punishment is well-deserved.
