Shameless and probably not very smart copycat
i have been reading wired for a while now and about 2 years ago i became a proud subscriber. Due to some mesh-up in the delivery (wired said it was a local mess-up and it's not hard to believe) i was left behind in my reading. So the latest issue is still in it's plastic back.
I staying at a building with more that one apartments and all the mail is (due to the laziness of the postman) outside the mailboxes so everyone can see everybody's mail. So this morning i was surprised to see (at a glimpse i admit) what i though was the latest issue of wired i had already received. I was even more surprised to see that it wasn't wired but the latest newsletter magazine of the biggest national telecommunication provider in Greece (public up to recently)
This is beyond shameless cause its not just the fact that it is identical it is that the original wired issue is probably, not to all, still on the stands for anyone to see. And by anyone i mean both the client and its clients.
This is going to get embarrassing for someone i hope, not because i am mean but because it gives a bad name to the rest of us.
Following are the 2 cover images. If anyone knows who the designer is i would like to know and all comments are welcome


LIKED IT? DIGG IT!
