i have been struggling to design a suitable layout for my work for a long time… as some of you have probabaly seen since ive been a member…

then i came across [www.fakepilot.com](http://www.fakepilot.com) and the way he has laid out his information was just how i had envisaged my site…

[www.00110.org](http://www.00110.org) is a guy i know who also uses a similar layout…

now my question is that as i have used this layout am i ripping?

[www.starritt.co.uk](http://www.starritt.co.uk) \<---- my site

or am i using? if web is the same as industrial design, often people are reformulating existing entities… true originality is rare

what are your thoughts?
