I’m rarely impressed when it comes to graphic and logo design, but this time it’s different. Now i know what a lot of people have been saying about this young girl, they’re saying;
So what’s the deal, she’s 16years old, and into design, who cares?
The design community care, people who are still passionate about what they do care. This girl, at 16 years old is not only designing logos at a professional level, she’s also doing everything in her power to spread the word among other teenagers, that if they want, they can do it too. So she’s not only bettering herself in all this but trying to help others, at just 16. That’s the deal.
The girl is obviously mature for her age, although at times she may act like she’s just 16, which is ok, because she is! Her designs speak for themselves, mastering such raw talent at such a young age, she has received praise from some of the top logo designers online, she’s starting to get feature slots on many sites and all this in the past couple days when she designed and developed her first site Julie Kapral and her Teen Design Blog.
Some may argue that there are younger designers out there, some just as good as Julie, but if you take the time to look at those designers and Julie you’ll see that she has this passion like nothing I’ve seen before, not even in someone excited about what they do. It comes as natural to her and with her first paying client just a few days ago, you can tell this Teen Logo Designer is on a role, and what a role it is going to be.
Keep your eye on her, she’s going places.
you may want to follow up on this message. She has just been found out as a thief of design work. I would venture to say that most everything she has posted has been ripped off. Does not deserve the praise or attention. Keep your eye on her, yeah, keep both on her and make sure she doesnt steal your work.
read through this thread for all the proof you need of this. and notice that her site and blog and all the logos posted have been taken down.

All of the work she “designed” was ripped off from other designers. She got busted. All of her work was removed from logopond.

Just thought you and your readers should know.
She may be going to small claims court as most of the work she has posted has been found to be not hers and directly lifted or stolen from other designers.
Yeah, she’s going places alright. To jail if she keeps ripping off work of real designers and claiming it as her own. People are starting to see their work claimed as hers and she is B-U-S-T-E-D!!!!
She is also pissing a lot of designers off by plagiarizing their work. Not just copying it but literally lifting the art and claiming it as her own. I see lawsuits in her future.

what a sad day in history. but alas. kids will be kids. they’re just growing shap razol like teeth early on.
rumors have it she was mentored by the one and only Jon Engle. we all know his story. If she was influenced by him, did what he told her to do or was just a natural doubledouchbagger then is irrelevant. we lost a potentially talented young one.
but – Admin – we haven’t lost “a potentially talented young” designer. She isn’t even a designer. I’m not a potentially talented Formula 1 driver because I like to drive fast and know how to change gears? She knows how to cruise the internet and rip things off. No talent there.
and “kids will be kids” is soooo dismissive, as if “oh well, send her to bed without any supper Mrs Cleaver”. You’re pissing on the truly talented designers she decided to rip off.
Maybe if it were your designs she ripped you might be a little less laissez faire, hmm?
She is no more “potentially talented” than any other teenager. Unless you count for a talent for stealing other people’s hard work.
We lost a thief, that is all.-(something all designers should be happy to lose.)
I don’t buy the “kids will be kids” -a pure cop-out if I ever heard of one. I didn’t steal as a kid, and I teach my children not to steal. If they do, they suffer the consequences.
If some one ripped off the work I spent hours, days or weeks on churning out pages of concepts, layouts, final sketches to a finish piece just have this little “DITZ” say “oh I just got home from school and pulled this little du-dad piece of art out of my ass in my spare time… what do ya think?” I’d be pissed…
Yet another product of the instant, selfish, impatient generation.
