Why Do You Take Issue with Unsolicited Redesigns?

1) You have no idea what the brief was.
2) A designer’s hardest job is selling their work to the people who need to approve it.
3) You never throw another designer under the bus.

Anybody can do something that’s visually appealing, post it to Dribbble, and get a favorable response. But that’s not what design is. Design is the solution to a problem within a set of constraints. And unsolicited work ignores the biggest constraint of all: your ability to get your work through the approval process. That’s not design, it’s jerking off in a vaccuum.
