I’m not sure why this is frowned upon. So many creatives put work in their portfolio that they weren’t responsible for. This seems like a fair way of evaluating your concepting skills. I’d be up for it.

We do tests here but rarely, It’s only for candidates we aren’t really sure about creatively.
A test is basically a “no hire” unless you impress can us.

Sounds like a test you are allowed to cheat on.
