A little bit about me

My name is Eva Wilderman (Schenk) and I'm currently attending my last semester at Pittsburg State University. Upon completion I will have my Bachelors of science in technology with a major in commercial graphics. I started this blog not only for a class assignment but also to create a portfolio of my work for future references.

Hallmark smposium


We had a guest lecturer from hallmark come and speak to us today about the company and the some of the hallmark process. One of the things that I learned is that Hallmark has been around for almost a hundred and one years now, and has and still is family owned.  They pride themselves as a personal enrichment company.  I also didn't know that crayola was owned by hallmark.
The company makes over 6200 cylinders per year, which go through a de-chroming process after they're done being used. So they are sanded down, polished, and grinder finished. Cylinders lose their dimension after being sanded and polished so the cylinders have to be chrome plated to restore their dimension.
