Go Spec Yourself: A Movement? A Right!


Unless you love working for free, you probably have some negative feelings about working for free. So take part... do something about it.
Go Spec Yourself | Bright Black: "Go Spec Yourself

The Spec Work trend is getting bigger by the day. This is not a topic of black and white. There is no right or wrong here… I simply think we need to educate people, especially fledgling designers of the potential pitfalls or even benefits of spec work. Though many feel passionate one way or another on the topic, there is no reason we can’t be civil and share our views. Who knows, we might even learn something from each other.
I am hereby declaring Friday, February 13 National Go Spec Yourself Day!

The Rules (should you choose to participate)

* Write a blog post, record a podcast or videocast about your experience with speculative work, good or bad, on February 13th, with a link to our website.
* Spread the fire! Tell 13 people about us, using Twitter, e-mails, txt messages, phone calls, and get them in the Go Spec Yourself loop."
There's more here. Read it all. Get involved!
