Designisms:
>"Let me explain to CP+B why spec work and design contests (or the bullshit term “crowdsourcing”) are detrimental, not just to the design industry, but for your own clients.... When participating in such nonsense, designers work for free in hopes of getting paid or winning a prize. It completely devalues our work (maybe some designers are finally realizing this?). It does clients a disservice in compromising quality of work by completely skipping the research and development stage. Instead of using your interns or crowdsourcing students and amateur designers, you could have hired a professional designer who would be able to work closely with your client and mostly likely produce better work."
Brammo should have just hired us. ;)
