Visual Idiot is a notable name in the design community. It would be like stealing from Tobias Van Schneider or something. You can't get past people in the know.


But how did you even make the connection? I don't see the text "Visual Idiot" anywhere. And were you just browsing his js files? Or did the UI of the site feel familiar?


If you go to the Visual Idiot site it has the same background effect so if you've looked at both sites it would be a pretty easy observation.


I don't see the same background effect on this site. Where is it? I can see it on the VI page, though.


Almost at the bottom of the page with his contact info:

Are you related to VisualIdiot? :)


lol nope


Ah, I just went to http://vaguelyexciting.com/. I'm assuming you recognized the moving dots/lines and made then connection yourself, then compared JS files to confirm.
