Oh, now programmers are graphic designers too? Don't want to play the submit three logo comps and maybe we'll hire you game?
Geez, even a hired gun has to shoot someone for free once in a while just to show potential employers he's still got it! No one really knows what you did before (unless you have code groupies). Employers certainly do not give a shit in today's job market, they want to know you will fit in with the team and that you work as advertised. No one in their right mind believes advertising or resumes these days. So what's the alternative? You want to slip them source someone else paid you to make! I sure as shit would not hire you if you share like that. Competitions surely suck for losers who do not learn from their loss(es).
Suck on this - if you are bored then YOU are boring. If you won't build a small (not going to make anyone else money) solution to show a potential employer you can, you probably can't.
