It boggles my mind that anyone would do this. I have samples that I’ve already written on my portfolio Web site, but these people think they can get free work out of me. Unfortunately, a lot of college students and others new to writing will do this, which takes business away from me and other experienced writers. Non-creative professions don’t do samples for no money, so I don’t see why creative pros are expected to! Thanks for the post – it obviously hit a sore spot!

Thanks for posting. It's the 12-13 year olds just picking up photoshop and passing themselves off as designers that are killing the value in the market. People are used to kids designing for cheap/free and getting work done by people from India and other countries at $5.00 an hour USD. It's amazing how many emails I've got that ended with "I figured this would be an easy task" or "My friends told me it should be a quick job". All resulting in the same thing "can I get something for nothing"... Answer: NO!

That's really kind of you to feature the article, not to mention saying all those nice things about it! That's a good policy you have there, and double bonus points for not having to learn it the hard way, as so many designers do. I agree that more need to be aware of this issue to help bring it to an end. So we are really grateful that you have helped spread the word. Thanks Simon.

I always make clients pay for the work I do and we agree that before I start, even if they dont use the design. I know its a big problem for many people in the design community and if people say no then it will soon stop so thanks for pointing it out to a lot of people. And btw, I'm gonna feature this post in todays HD Todaily over at Help Developer. Once again thanks Simon Norths last blog post..<a href="http://help-developer.com/index.php/2008/08/hd-todaily-250808/" rel="nofollow">HD Todaily - 25/08/08</a> Hi, I am aware of this happening to other designers, luckily I never go near a project without a 20% deposit and no files are ever transferred till I receive the other 80%.

I was really happy with the title and you're the first person to say anything about it. So YEAH! I agree about the spec posts. There need to be so many more of these articles out there. And it would be nice to see less of these 'contests' and 'portfolio builders' being offered. That sucks that you got burned like that. And again, I agree, there needs to be more protection for designers, especially, as you pointed out with the current economic conditions in the US. Thanks again, for the thoughtful comments and praise for the site as well. We look forward to having you return! Erika

First of all, I LOVE the title of this post. Secondly, I think that EVERY blogger in the web technology field should write at least ONE post about speculative work and how fundamentally inappropriate it is. For no other reason, but just to ensure that ONE other human being is reached and made to realize the reality of the situation. Lastly, the comment above me that mentioned clients wanting the site to be live before they pay [the final amount].... okay, it took my getting burned one good time for me to realize that I'll never let that happen again. Designers really need to sit down and discuss the legal possibilities with a lawyer or a strategist of some sort to help protect themselves and their time from unscrupulous people out there, because there are folks out there who will spend day and night trying to figure out ways to save an extra few hundred... especially with the way the US economy is behaving lately. Beautiful website! I'll be coming back. :) Okay. First of all, I LOVE the title of this post.
