In 1998-99 the only class our university had about the web was web design and basic HTML (combined). Most of the time we just tackled basic mark-up. Luke Wroblewski’s luckier though, he actually went to a web school, so he definitely would know a lot more.

I recently read this article about speculative work. Speculative work is any work done without any agreed, fair or reasonable payment. It’s a very informative piece, and on my part very eye-opening. It makes me think about those contests companies hold that invite people to re-design their logo or website.

To those of you who are new to the business, you should read the article. It will help you to value your work and yourself as a designer.

Those who want to know more about Spec work, you can find more information from the NO!SPEC website (advocacy website).
