I have a site I really like and would like to do something very similar but not the exact same. (different colors, features etc..) I plan on making all of the graphics myself, not using any of theirs but modeled after theirs. Is this a copyright problem? I plan on getting everything custom coded so that I will not be breaking any laws. I do not plan on just straight copying there source code / css. As you may tell, I am wanting to do this right. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Could you provide a little more info about what your doing, and exactly how close it is to the original.... I'm a little confused, ...
Attached is one of the elements. I would like to create the exact same one, but with different colors. What is legal and what is not. Technically, if I create my own after that one, is it a copyright infringement?
