Opinions on the copying of mural text

[Rusalka]

I know that you can't copyright a quote, but I have a question about using a quote in a design.

Do you consider the content of a large piece of text part of a mural design? For example:
http://www.thelovekey.com/blog/you-a...eautiful-mural

The above text was copied and submitted for a mural design competition. There is nothing to the new design besides the words, and a repeating grid pattern in two colors. Would you consider that a "unique" design, despite the fact that the idea and text were copied from another mural?

That mural (if it's the script one I see in some of the other images, your link didn't work) has a specific arrangement of colours and typography. If the words "you are beautiful" are used in another arrangement of fonts with other colours then yes that's a different artwork.

Not terribly inspired, but not violating copyright. Copyright doesn't cover ideas.
