Please sign the petition below and help us get the word out, NO!SPEC.

We, the undersigned, are against speculative work and presentations for the following reasons:

Spec work does not guarantee compensation for the designer or an appropriate solution for the client. It is an unprofessional practice because it takes away from a designer's time and billable projects.

The very nature of spec work virtually ensures that clients will not get well-researched or executed solutions.

Spec work does not contribute to the overall image or branding of a client because it is often sought out for one-off pieces - it actually serves to dilute the brand, which can be extremely harmful to the client.

In addition, spec work devalues the communication design profession. It reduces communication design to a commodity, rather than to a specialized service.

After you've signed the petition, visit www.no-spec.com for articles on spec work, unethical design competitions, and free pitching. Download the NO!SPEC logo and join the crusade today!

- I once did Spec Work and ultimately paid the price for it. My business went under when I ran out of time to complete the projects coming in when money was not.
