Do I have to know Photoshop to get a job as a Hallmark Creative? |
Travel Info I want to work for Hallmark Cards. I am all about creating emotionally meaningful visual imagery and I have the upmost confidence in my abilities with traditional painting and drawing media, got that down pat, check, no problem, but I don't know Photoshop. Do I need to know Photoshop or/and Illustrator software to be considered a viable candidate for an illustrator's position at Hallmark Cards?? Are there any current or former employees out here able and willing answer my question? How about anyone that has interviewed with Hallmark recently? Anyone??! Thanking everyone in advance for your input :O) Travel Tips theres a hallmark here in topeka and all you have to do is get a job there and work your way up through the company...its a VERY hard place to get on at though...the only way you can start at that point where you just jump right into that kind of work is if you have a degree in art i think. but still...even if you did it would be extremely difficult to get an interview there...people never quit and people are rarely hired there for anything other then data entry positions or factory positions Others I'm not sure abot Hallmark, but If you buy photoshop and play around with it for a while you can figure it out. It's not hard at all... Speaking as one who worked prepress in a variety of print shops... all ad agencies brought their work to the shop on magnetic media. To bring the work on paper or "mechanicals" just more than doubled the costs. There was a TV show about Shoe Box Cards (my fav). They were showing off all the cards that didn't make it and they showed off just the mock ups. But, I suspect the end results were scanned onto magnetic media. In the final ananlysis, I don't see how you could get the colors, and sizes and seperations done correctly without knowing the graphic softwares. Your ID on this board sez KC, I'd go to their office and ask for a tour. |
