I don't think he was trying to post a link to that specific article. The site at large is relevant with its argument: "spec work devalues the potential of design and ultimately does a disservice to the client".
- chaostheory 18y agothe problem with the site (no-spec.com), aside from the legal argument, is that its arguments for "spec work devalues the potential of design" are pretty weak. It runs with the main assumption that only talentless, "less-than-great" designers would go for this... which judging from the 99designs submissions - isn't true
- menloparkbum 18y agoMost of the submissions are awful.
- chaostheory 18y agowell most companies and people can't afford to hire a good firm, and it's hell of a lot better than what most people can do. It's meeting a market need for good enough design (to me it's great) for the little cash most seed startups and people have. I get the impression that the designers against this feel that the design firms are going to go away... I don't feel that they will since they serve a different market
- jrockway 18y agoBut some of the submissions are good. And you only need one logo.
