I ...I'm sorry this happened to you and to her. <br />I just sometimes hope that we could clear things up like adults before going public about it. <br />I may not know what it feels like to have someone steal something from you (as a design or review) but I know how it feels like when someone steals a phone or something you just bought.<br />But couldn't we try to look for an explanation? Sadly, I know most of us react before talking to the people involved. <br /><br />Rivie @ <a href="http://riviebook.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Bookshelf</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392770387367192793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-6885982451677275722013-01-24T00:39:16.531-05:002013-01-24T00:39:16.531-05:00Aww I don't think anyone blames you, Evie.

It sucks to be involved in anything like this but everyone knows you wouldn't do something like this. I'm happy you started a design business, too, btw! I tweeted you but I think you were MIA that day. <br /><br />*hugs*Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953187386418088952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-23028600978115916032013-01-23T21:31:28.860-05:002013-01-23T21:31:28.860-05:00So sorry to hear that you are in the middle of it ...So sorry to hear that you are in the middle of it :( It's not good when you work so hard to do a good job and someone just steals it. <br /><br />I really like what you had done for Lady Reader that I was reading her blog.

I'm a graphic designer too, but not as good as you or Rachel, but I can imagine what it would feel like to have your stuff stolen or to be in your position. <br /><br />Why is plagiarism happening so much on book blogs lately? That's what I keep asking myself these days. It's so frustrating! (The only good thing about my blog not being well-known is that no one will ever steal any of my reviews, other posts, or images)<br /><br />Last year it happened, and then that blog that stole some reviews from many blogs last week (or was it before that?), and now this. People really need to smarten up and either ask permission or not do it at all. That way no one will get hurt, but apparently some people just want the easy way out, *sighs*<br /><br />I just hope that there isn't anymore plagiarism on blogs anymore (although I doubt that will happen).<br />At least you stuck up for yourself to prove that you're innocent.<br /><br />Here's hoping that these incidents stop. You have my support.<br /><br /><br />-Nazish @ <a href="http://www.nazishreads.net" title="Nazish Reads" rel="nofollow">Nazish Reads</a>Nazish Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689626895943484786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-65127831950608619382013-01-23T18:43:41.963-05:002013-01-23T18:43:41.963-05:00EVIE!!!!!!!!!!

It shouldn't be. As a teacher I teach my student about use of images and what we can and can't use. I don't believe someone that has been blogging for awhile could not know they can't uplift someone elses design.<br /><br />While ugly I think it is good to get it air time. People need to know. I did hear of someone being sued for big bucks, and she didn't know the image was not for use. She still had to pay.<br /><br />You wise to stand and say you had nothing to do with it. Although I can hear the angst and annoyance for you. What a waste of your time and energy. However others may learn from it.<br /><br />All the best, keep on doing what you do so well.<br /><br />Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581790816548017087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-62639270100577752152013-01-22T23:15:18.156-05:002013-01-22T23:15:18.156-05:00As I'd said in email, I'm so sorry you had...As I'd said in email, I'm so sorry you had to get involved in all of this.<br /><br />But I'm glad I reached out by email this morning because I knew from the moment we corresponded that you were in no way involved in any of it.<br /><br />And the fact that this individual made me doubt your involvement for even one second is just so upsetting.<br /><br />She clearly had help with the coding but that someone was clearly not you.<br /><br />I'm just sorry she took your lovely design and all of your efforts and threw it all away.<br /><br />And I always try to handle matters privately but this situation has gone on for too long and now everyone has been hurt by this - you, the lovely author who entrusted her with her tour, her readers and friend, and me.<br /><br />I hope no one further questions your design ethics!

Maybe the point was to take something from Rachel, I don't know. Either way it's a huge mess. <br /><br />By the way I love the design you created, especially the stars, I have a thing for stars.

(As I said on another post, I'm sorry stuff like this keeps coming up, period. It's ridiculous, embarrassing and petty!) <br /><br />For what it's worth, the images you did are great! You've definitely got some talent! <br /><br />Also, as someone who is "in-between", who can manipulate something even if I can't code it from scratch, it's actually really EASY to get the code needed to modify stuff if you know what you're looking for. I've no idea who did it or why here, but I wanted to point that out. Why would *you* need to use someone else's stuff? You've obviously got enough talent to design things that are your own.<br /><br />Anyway, best wishes and take care. As I said to Rachel about what happened to her, I'm also sorry to hear what has happened to you. Building a reputation in ANY artistic medium is hard enough without this crap!
