I dunno, there is something appealing about a site with just text and … text. Lovely. I came across Pig Work while checking out the NO!SPEC stats and stuck around to see what Steven had to say.
From Steven: What’s particularly bad is it’s so ingrained into some industry heavyweights that it’s the only way they work. But it only works because we play the game.
So next time someone gives you a phone call and asks for speculative work just say NO THANK YOU. If they can’t figure you’re capable from your portfolio somethings amiss. They do it because they can take advantage of designers.
From nortypig: In many workplaces it would be down right illegal to get 4 people to come and compete for a position that three were going to be fired for. A fair days pay for a fair days work.
EDITED: Steven Clark’s Pig Work has evolved into nortypig.
