We all hate spec work, but it’s surprising how often it rears it’s ugly head. Our friend Kat at Designers Who Blog found this open letter to Craigslist about spec work in their “Creative Gig Board”, which had been flagged for removal.

Kudos to whoever wrote the letter, but I can’t help but wonder what clients (worth having) or creative professionals seek work on Craigslist? It seems like an easy venue for cheap clients with no concept of the value of good design (or design relationships) to seek out designers willing to sacrifice their professional integrity for a few extra dollars and some extra work.

Looks like Craigslist deleted the post anyway.
