Design Institute of Australia (DIA) har udgivet en brochure om gratis arbejde inden for designbranchen. Brochuren beskriver de forskellige former for gratis arbejde, man som ny designer kan påtage sig - og DIA har en klar holdning til, hvorfor man ikke skal give sine designydelser væk gratis.
"Free pitching may be initiated by a customer who requests the provision of free services, or it may be initiated by a designer who provides free services in the hopes of later payment. Free pitching is condemned by professional design organisations around the world.
Free pitching undermines the value of design services and destroys the professional standing of designers."
