You'll also get the chance to connect with the entire design community: HOW's also hosting the Creative Freelancer Conference and In-HOWse Designer Conference in Denver at the same time as the HOW Conference. Find out more here.

Call for Nominations: Who’s in Charge Here? (and who do you want to be in charge?)

It’s time to nominate the people who run the Graphic Artists Guild. It’s an important and challenging time for graphic artists as we redefine the media we create for and ensure that we retain all of our rights to our work. It’s also an exciting time, as we learn to create in new media and push the limits of creation and technology to support our creative efforts.

Decide who will have your back for the next couple of years. These are important, time-consuming and often, thankless, jobs that a dedicated few take on. These are the people who will work for what’s important and achieve new goals for graphic artists. Click here for a copy of the nominating form and more information.
