I tried to crop him out but as always, Hogan must pose.

When I leave the room he'll probably look up to the Heavens in disbelief and finally hand the belt over to the Koala. What a prick.

So, where do I stand if an organisation has created a poster that bears a striking similarity to a series of designs I created in 2020?

How similar is similar? Close enough that you demonstrate that elements have been directly copied?

My design is on the right. I did other posters in a same style featuring two of the aircraft also featured in the design on the left.

My mum actually thought it was my design on the left when I showed it to her out of context.

Not being funny but I think you'll have a hard time arguing 'illustrated pictures of an aeroplane' to advertise an air show. It's not a straight rip-off. They might have been inspired by your design or it might just be a coincidence, but I don't think you'll ever know and they don't seem similar enough for it to be obvious.

Fwiw I prefer your design as there's just way too many planes in the other one.

Yeah, I really don't think there's a problem there at all. There's only so many ways to illustrate a Spitfire (or whatever) in the air. Google the words Spitfire + poster, or anything along those lines and you'll see pages of similar images.

Yeah to be fair they're both exactly how I'd expect posters for that to look like. The left one is too busy though.

If they were using the exact planes and designs etc then fair enough but I wouldn't have considered them similar if no one had mentioned it.

I can see the similarities, but once you take away the cutout effect, the planes are from the angle of a hundred commemorative plates, and the parts that are distinctively yours (like the broken circle of the propeller, suggesting it's a MkVI or MkVII) aren't on theirs.

I wouldn't fancy your chances.
