Be Good Not Bad : Web Design :: Brian Warren : Denver, Colorado

My good buddy, and local design ninja, Derek Balmer out of the blue decided to do an awesome illustration of Bridget and I, based off a photo that was taken just hours after she was born. As a reminder, you can follow Bridget’s adventures on her website, BridgetWarren.com. Thanks Derek!

An entire site based on spec work. They say they’re “[c]onnecting image makers with buyers.” But what they’re really doing is creating micro-contests where a bunch of people do a bunch of work and a select few get paid for it. Awesome! Anything that tries to recruit people by using the words “make a name for yourself” makes me irky. There are plenty of ways to make a name for yourself without devaluing an industry at the same time. My advice: Run away.
