40 Things We Learned From and Loved About HOW Design Live 2018

 

 

“I believe it is possible to be both CONTENT and AMBITIOUS!”- @tinaessmaker . One of the most powerful presentations we had today came from Tina Essmaker’s SPARK session. Beautiful, eloquent, and inspiring. Such an important message: you’re better at your job/being a creative when you throw a wrench in “the hussle” to feed yourself and your soul. Invest in the things you neglect… #HOWLIVE ⚡ ⚡ ⚡ #creative #creativity #creativeconference #designer #design #inspiration #motivation #inspirationalquotes #motivationalquotes #designconference

Day 1 at #HOWLIVE in the exhibit hall. @howbrand hosts creatives from all around the world to converge and connect. Some of the most cutting edge software, techniques and vendors are shared at @how_events. It’s an investment to attend but so worthwhile for the knowledge, connections, inspiration and tools that equip us to better serve you! #JPDesignsArt

Adam J. Kurtz talking about the importance of personal work (for both fun and profit).

Amy Schwartz, who specializes in branding and digital experiences as creative director at Bright Bright Great and previously was the design director at Cards Against Humanity and Blackbox, spoke at HOW Design Live about how we can become the mentors we wish we had.

Congratulations to all the winners who won the HOW and PRINT booth drawing for a free HOW Design University certificate program!

Lots of relaxation and recharging (and fun!) happened at the HOW and PRINT booth!
