Add Online Design to Your Skill Set
The HOW Interactive Design Conference is a three-day event for print designers who want to take their existing skills into the online design realm. Last month, HOW gave us one Interactive Design Conference pass to give away. Now we have one more pass to give away, but there won't be another after that's gone. So hurry: Go to the contest page, click a button, and you'll be registered for a chance to win the pass.
Good luck, and I hope to see many of you at the conference in November!
