Tips to Create an Ecard
Pre-designed ecards are popular and convenient, and easy to select and send. However, if you want to send a more personal message by designing your own ecard, it will take a lot more planning, creativity, and technical expertise. The first tip for making your own ecard is to plan it out in advance so you will end up with a quality card on time. You'll want t o write the copy for your intended card theme in a storyboard format.
This should include the actual words that will appear on the ecard and the supporting visual concepts to be animated in each frame. Once you've settled on the words and graphics, you can also add sound to your ecard by using your computer's sound recorder. Embed the mp3 audio file into the Flash editor and create a .swf file. Upload this file to your web servers, and the music , visual and copy should all blend together to create a lively ecard.
