Question: What is “Spec” Work?

Spec work (short for speculative) is any job for which the client expects to see examples or a finished product before agreeing to pay a fee.
Answer:
Why to Avoid Spec
This type of work is widely considered undesirable and immoral by the graphic design community, as it requires the designer to commit time and resources to a project with the chance of getting nothing in return. While a client may feel they don’t want to invest money until seeing some work, designers should not have to prove their worth to get a job. Instead, clients should choose a designer based on their portfolio and experience and commit to building a working relationship with him or her. Only then will both the client and designer see the best results.
