The Kiddie Designers of That One Company I Won’t Mention

David Airey:

If you consider “working on spec” a form of free work (i.e., the designer carries out a request in the mere hope of getting paid, with no guarantees), and if you consider that people under the age of 18 are covered by child labour laws, then by that definition, 99designs is keeping costs down through the use of unpaid child designers.

Moral and ethical issues aside for just a bit... do you really want a kid creating your business identity??
