Copy Cat
There are times as a designer that you need to be able to get inspiration from other sources. Sometimes the ideas just don't flow as fast as they need to, but when a design it copied exactly then you run into some problems. Here is a great example of someone flat out stealing a design.
Any ideas on where they got this design from? Anyone that listens to music, which is the world, would know that this is the design from Apple iTunes.
The above website is ConceptShare, which caters to the design profession. Having said that, you would think they would design something a little more original. Plus, the reflection idea is now overused and it is going they way of the drop shadow - to the grave.
Even though I think ConceptShare made a bad desicision design wise, I have tried out their service and think it is great. You have the ability to post your designs online and get feedback from other designers or allow your clients to feedback on them. I could see this being used to stop the hundreds of emails with all the revisions and changes that clients are always making.
