An Open Letter to Guy Kawasaki on Spec Work

Or, sometimes 140 characters simply isn’t enough to express views properly.

Before we begin, let me unequivocably apologize for expressing the opinion in an earlier tweet to Guy that one of the final covers in his design contest was plagiarized from another source. This is not true, as the icon in question is in fact released under an open source license. However, whether it was ethical or proper of the designer to use this icon in said contest is something I’ll address later.

So, Guy Kawasaki has held his cover design competition and in a few days, the one lucky winner will be awarded $1000.
