Pastiche

Pastiche

<pah-steesch>

copy; impersonation; spoof;

copying artistic work from another in imitation or parody.

Your painting is a pastiche of all the modern masterpieces. You copied a little from each artist.

Memory trick: PAST ISH. It is past ish looking.

Used at work:
Your new campaign is a pastiche of the old campaigns. It is not new and original.
