Down to Earth – Olly Howe
Introducing Olly Howe. Easily one of the best designers I have ever come across. And not to stroke my ego too much, but that is a huge compliment. So you can imagine my thoughts when Olly emailed me asking to collaborate with one of my latest photoshoots. Very very very very humbling.
I have never given any of my high-resolution photoshop files to anybody… ever. But I didn’t hesitate a second when Olly wanted to do his magic work to one of my Great Recession composites. The end result blew my mind. The attention to detail is just absolutely STAGGERING. Just look for yourself.
And a rundown of some of my favorite work displayed on his website:
Reason #14 why I’m a huge fan of Olly is he’s been featured in Advanced Photoshop magazine AND Computer Arts. My top 2 magazines for design/photoshop… well worth the $15 price tags. I’m looking forward to working on future projects with Olly, and if you want a photoshoot taken in LA, and further edited by Olly… well you know our contact info

PlasticPrinters.com Praise
About 2 years ago I made personalized business cards for my job as Art Director of Import Tuner Magazine. The boring company-provided white cards with raised type just wouldn’t cut it in my world. I stumbled upon PlasticPrinters.com and I had to wipe the drool from my keyboard.
Transparent plastic business cards? My creative juices just hit afterburners! I chose the frosted/transparent material for a diffused look. After a couple of design tweaks, and very friendly customer service at PlasticPrinters.com I had a stack of practically indestructible and conversation-inducing business cards, sweet!
The cards have never failed to get a “whoa!?”, “nice!” or a “where did you get these?!?” comment. Someone has even asked if they double as a credit card… I wish! But in a way they definitely make me more money. Compared to the flimsy plain white company cards issued throughout the company, mine are the envy of the office.
What’s even sweeter is one of my co-workers just informed me that my card is displayed on the printer’s front page of their website! Well not front and center, but I feel a little fuzzy seeing my design on the front page of an outstanding business that receives literally 1,000s of submissions a year. Screenshots for proof
