Some fun ecard

I like fun e-cards but I never get them. Anyway, e-cards are dead in my opinion

Hoops and Yoyo Very famous hallmark ecard characters due to their annoying conversation

Ohmygodness Raunchy funny simple ecards that usually feature flasher

Somecards Really stylish ecards. I don't know which one to pick

For printed one...I'll show u guys tmr.

Flow chart



In my opinion flowchart is a convenient tool to help designing mobile interface and screen interface because of many several reasons that will be stated below.

Firstly, flowchart is presented in form of a process with different stages. Meeting the standard of the previous stage is pre-requisite to proceed to the next one. Therefore, if there is an error in design, dissatisfaction with any elements in the interface, the designers can always trace back to which step that has been done wrong or could be improved to give a better outcome as long as the designing process is carried out in steps and proceed according to requirements attached with each step.

Secondly, flowchart could be operated by both simple logic (yes or no) or by more flexible and complicated multiple choices that will accordingly produce one out of 2 or various outcomes that have been programmed. The possibilities of outcomes could be expanded by increasing the possibilities of inputs (user’s choices) or the feedback or its own output aka self-moderation. For example: A heater can be turned off manually by user’s action or by its own self-moderation mechanism a.k.a it will turn off by itself if the temperature reaches certain level due to the expansion of the cords inside the heater. As the result, flowchart visually lists out all the possible interaction between users and the design. Therefore, it helps the designer to explore the new possibilities of interaction, making the design more versatile and more easily related to the users.

Thirdly, flowcharts can be read by both users and designers due to its simple presentation as a flow of instruction, making it easier for users to give feedback as well as for designers to grab the response of their users.
