Is Spec Work Evil? The Online Creative Community – SXSWi 2009

I’ve been a victim of being sucked into the spec work field. But I do it mainly so I will be able to have the experience and to add it for my resume. But I do agree that it devalues the profession of design. There are sooo many sites that have crowd sourcing for design work. Which is pretty pathetic and just another business model. But I do not have a problem helping someone out with design work as long as they we will work out a barter system that will help each other out.

Debbie Millman Creative Mornings Talk

Debbie Millman is such a wonderful woman. The speech she gives is very informative. She even gave out some great advice to recent graduates. Watching this really opened my eyes up to learning about other things besides design. Mainly the impact of being aware of whats really happening in the world can have on your work.

I really would love to attend The school of Visual Arts in New York. Sadly I failed my portfolio class by a letter grade at the art institute so I was not able to get my associates degree. Not going to let that hold me back. But anyhow enjoy the talk.
