BigBrassBand. The beauty of the name only became even more apparent when we got this design from Andy Geppelt @ BlueMonkeyDesigns (we usually work with a designer directly, but this time around we wanted to get as many varied ideas as possible [yes this is controversial, look at the dust storm kicked up at Carsonified re: spec work]).

There was much debate on whether Carsonified’s (the company behind ThinkVitamin) competition to design a holding slide for its forthcoming Future of Web Design conference should be considered spec work or not. There is clearly still a debate to be had on what spec work actually is. [...] [...] Not all competitions are considered to be spec work.

Almost immediately after the competition was announced, there was a comment made which suggested that the competition was an example of “Spec work”, and pretty soon afterwards the comments on the post descended into chaos and name-calling.  Speculative work is a phrase that is synonymous with exploitation and opportunism in the average designer’s mind, where solid design effort is traded for a lottery ticket. The announcement that something is “spec work” is the designer’s call to arms.
