Well, it’s a wrap. Since the 14th of March we blogged about the NO!SPEC Campaign here on Designers who blog. The support from the internet was amazing.
A special thanks goes to those helping with the NO!SPEC site (design, programming, articles, research, etc), spreading the word, joining in on the conversation, as well as those sporting the NO!SPEC logo or url.
The next phase of the campaign has begun, so please keep an eye on no-spec.com
If you want to help, here’s what you can do.
