Over the last few days I've been going over my HOW Conference materials typing notes and discarding things from the folder like presentation handouts from a QuarkXpress session. The conference was truly rich with inspiration and it has been difficult to visit all the links without clicking a couple time and becoming distracted.

Following are some random notes, links and my raw notes from the sessions.

From a Hallmark recruiting card:

Hallmark has more than 100 writers and editors, 180 illustrators, 18 hand-lettering artists and more than 300 designers – last time we checked.
