Hmmm, Chocolat? Where have I
seen this before?

Here's some comment from an American who, having happened across a copy of Chocolat,the magazine launched by Rogers Media last year, notes its remarkable similarity to Condé Nast's Domino.

re: Chocolat
Rogers Media empowers the ad sales and marketing departments to dictate design, the publishers rule... as a direct relation to ad page revenue. Indeed the Rogers art directors are dictated to by powers that have little regard or knowledge for design or culture. this shortsightedness of Rogers Media has encouraged the general decline of the quality of Canadian magazines.
Just look at the so-called redesign of Flare... it looks no different than before, a cowardly effort at best, but Rogers has used the redesign maneuver to sell ads.

re: copying
As taught at Ryerson, ripping-out and ripping-off pages from established magazines is not viewed as copying or plagiarism... it's called "inspiration".
