Hallmark Symposium

I attended the gravure presentation on Thrusday. The speaker was Jill from Hallmark and she talked to us about the processes they go through at Hallmark. Hallmark is the largest card company in the world. They have 14,600 employees total and 3,900 of those are in Kansas City. They just celebrated their 101 year anniversary and are still family owned. Hallmark is ranked in the top 10 known businesses as well as crayola which is owned by Hallmark. Hallmark has the largest creative division in the world and they are there to strive for excellence and innovation.

Hallmark is divided into different divisions. They have a card division and a party division, which does all the paper plates, napkins, party favors etc. Between all the different division, Hallmark has over 400 different SKU's. The process from the start of design to reaching shelves is six to nine months. Hallmark is currently working on Christmas merchandise.

Hallmark has seen a lot of changes over the past 101 years. Currently some of the improvements they have seen in the company are that they have change to water based inks, they are using inferred dryers which improves the drying capabilities and they are using lean manufacturing.

Website Map








This is a website map I created for a photography website. From the homepage they had a link to a galleries page. From the home page they had links for Wedding and Portrait galleries. Under wedding they had links for engagement pictures, celebration and beauty and also a link that let people that had used this photographer could comment on the experience they have had. Under Portrait they had example of senior pictures and family and children. From the home page the next link was to a page where they could learn how to inquire, and a link to there blog.

This was the assignment where we created a page from scratch. We took a picture and edited it in photoshop adding text. Then we added the text below it and created a link to the website where we got the information, the website where we got the quotation in the text and also to an e-mail address. This gave us the chance to learn how to add a sized image, to link to another website and also to link to someone's e-mail address.
This is our home page that we created using a template in Dreamweaver. This page has links to all the assignments we have done. It gave us the chance to learn how to link multiple pages together. We also learned how to add a picture.
