Madeline Ocampo's graphic design portfolio from 2015 includes a poster she designed that won a national art contest. The poster visually depicts plagiarism by showing a paper in the middle made up of pieces stolen from uniquely colored original papers surrounding it. In her description, Ocampo explains that the poster aims to communicate that plagiarism means stealing others' original work and passing it off as your own. She believes being original is part of being a responsible creator and that plagiarizing degrades both the plagiarizer and the person whose work was stolen.

15. • I was the winner of the 2013 “Originality Matters” national art
contest, hosted by plagiarism.org for Plagiarism Education Week.
This is the poster I designed and the following is the accompanying
description I submitted:
• "In my poster, I wanted to communicate the essential meaning of
plagiarism: stealing other people’s original work and framing it as
your own. Therefore, I designed an array of papers with one in the
middle made up of “stolen” pieces of original papers surrounding it.
Those pieces are subtracted from the surrounding papers, each
with a unique color that represents their originality. I believe being
original is part of being a responsible writer, artist, inventor, or any
other producer of work. Not only is it illicit, plagiarizing degrades
the malefactor and the person from whom the work is stolen.
Conversely, it is rewarding to create and develop an idea that is all
your own.”
