Thanks so much for writing this, Daniel. I’ve been dismayed over the course of the last year to see just how much spec work is showing up in designers’ portfolios. Yes, it’s absolutely crucial to understand designers’ thinking and process, but if that’s not apparent through their portfolio, or the case studies they share, putting them through a self-serving fire drill won’t make talent magically appear.
