Design Twitter upset about giving back to the community with free resources. My take: We’ve been doing this for years. It doesn’t ruin peer careers. It reduces shit clients. It promotes a creators work & builds reputation. It helps others & encourages more ppl to give back too.

I have reviewed about 250-300 design candidates in the last three weeks. I would guess that I have to search for their work 50% the time. If I do happen to find a portfolio site (maybe slightly over 50% of the time I actually can), half of THOSE require a password I don’t have.
