For the 15th straight year in 2005, HOW Magazine held an annual conference for design professionals. With more competition
than in previous years, it was crucial that the HOW Conference stand out as front-runner in design-related conferences.
This provided formidable challenges in planning the design and GUI of the site. For the first time, Flash was used to add
interactivity with a real-time conference countdown and explorative map of Chicago surrounding the conference venue.
Thanks to smart design, user-friendly navigation, and intelligent coding, the site received accolades from many
multimedia portals such as Net Diver and Phirebrush.
Response to the site was overwhelming; the conference sold out for the first time in its history.
