While its completely within Dribbbles right to not cater for Spec work, and might make complete sense. I really dislike and disagree with the indignation surrounding spec work and propogated by things like NO!SPEC.
Spec work doesnt harm the creative industry, the fact is a lot of clients just want cheap decent looking logos / website designs, and there are a lot of designers that are willing to do the work even with a risk of not getting paid, likely because they are inexperienced and have a hard time finding standard paid contracts. Designers get experience, some money and an opportunity to grow into a career they are interested in, the client gets a reasonable quality product at a cheap price and low risk to them.
Nobody forces designers to take on spec work, as long as the structure of the work / payment is clear to both the designer and the client then they are both willingly taking it on.
- mrxd 14y agoDesigners don't need clients to get experience, they can just work on their own projects.
- digitalengineer 14y agoNot really. Designers don't necessarily need clients. But they do need restrains. That's where creativity comes from.
