Spec(ulative) work is a cancer within the design industry and all designers need to understand their role in fighting it.

 

 

Footer message

If you have been sent here then I need your help. Emerging designers just aren't getting the anti spec message. There's a ton of info online about spec/crowd-sourcing spread all over the 'net. A lot of it is lengthly and somewhat arduous to read. My aim is to boil this info down into a clear short message with the option for the user to expand the text and delve further as desired. No info overload.
