HOW's Creativity Annual
Think of it as an annual tune-up for your brain. We explore the wonderful, meaningful and sometimes random connections that fuel your creativity: connections between designers and their peers, their audience and their clients. Also in this issue:
• A profile of motion-design enfant terrible Jonathan Notaro and his bi-coastal firm, Brand New School.
• A look at a program that awards designers significant grants to produce pro-bono projects. What could you design with $25,000?
• A gallery of work from noted illustrators of color.
Special section: Paper
Get the scoop on 7 design competitions—all sponsored by paper mills—that allow you to enter your best work for free. Plus, our expert breaks paper down to the basics and tells you what you need to know to spec the right stock every time.
Special Section: Stock Photography
Do you hate to negotiate with stock agencies? You'll be surprised at how easy it is to get exactly the image you want, with the rights you need, at a price you can afford—that is, if you know these secrets. Plus: Avoiding the "white hand shaking the black hand" and other stock cliches.
