We Love Dogs
Here at HOW, we pretty much love the entire animal kingdom, but we have a special place in our hearts for dogs. So, we totally love illustrator Susan Black's latest creation: "Everything Reminds Me . . ." What's even cooler, Susan can customize the piece with a silhouette of the special canine in your life.
This original cut paper & ink collage measures 7" x 9" with a small
border for framing. Created on heavy white card this piece is signed
and dated in pencil. Sealed with love in cellophane and ships to you in
a protective heavy card mailer.

Touching Project
FOH Steve Hartman let us know today of a collaborative project that teamed Justin Ahrens, Donovan Beery, Nate Voss, Christine Taylor and Steve himself. The group descended on Omaha, home of Beery and Voss's Reflex Blue design podcast, for a weekend of design. They created this letterpress poster as a fundraiser for Life in Abundance, a nonprofit that helps empower Africa's poor. (Dig the blind emboss, which reads, "Touch. One touch creates a lasting imprint of an abundance of lives.") More info on the project on Steve's blog; you can buy a poster and support the cause here.

Ilise Benun, a longtime marketing advisor to creative freelancers and, along with Peleg Top, one of HOW's partners in this new event, offers a sneak preview of what you can expect to get out of your experience, along with interviews with attendees at last year's conference.
Ilise says: "We've planned two and a half days of hands-on learning and useful, time-saving resources with plenty of time to network with peers and with the speakers."

Care And Feeding Of In-House Designers
Design guru Jeff Fisher shares a great list of 10 tips to keep in-house designers happy and creative.
We often hear horror stories of bosses who make the life of a staff
designer miserable. Such situations make creativity and productivity
very difficult, if not impossible. Years ago, while I was the art
director of the Multnomah County Medical Society in Portland, I had the
most incredible supervisor I have ever experienced. She respected her
staff, didn't stifle the day-to-day operations of the publications
design department with micro-management, and constantly rewarded and
thanked staff members for jobs well done.
