During the plan of this e-card we constructed a storyboard. In my storyboard I included every single one of layers/frames, explained them all, and put in the different tweens I would use on the slide. To view my storyboard click the following thumb-nail... .
 * Introduction:**

During the plan I believe I covered the ESLR's of critical thinker, effective communicator, involved citizen, and self directed learner. I think this because had to think hard, had to communicate with others for help, direct myself, and I helped other people (a lot).
 * ESLR’s:**

My entire animation is basically just an e-card saying, “happy birthday”. The e-card will be very colourful with simple but awesome drawings and powerful text, the over all picture will be a guy standing on stage with text saying happy birthday to his friend named Fredrik. During the animation many things will be happening. First of all the guy standing on stage will be waving his arms “dancing” and the text will come in changing colour, then after that the text will be underlined from a dot turning into a full line (the line is also changing colour, with the text). After all that a new key-frame will be added saying BIRTH- and then another saying -DAY and so on. Over all, the card will be short but have a powerful message with simple drawings and a big over all meaning.
 * Reflection:**

I believe that this e-card will demonstrate excellent animation design with many key-frames and depictions that symbolize what they are. The different tweens I will use are rotation, shape, colour and motion. I will apply the rotation tweens to the arms of the little character with a pivot point to make it look like he is waving his arms. The shape and colour tween will both be added to the underline of the words, 1st the line will become a line from a single dot while changing colour. The colour tween will also be added to the text; the text and underline will either change from green to blue or blue to green. Using all the tweens that are listed above will not make it an excellent e-card; however, using many different colours and shapes will. I think this because having interesting drawings should create a better card for the audience and make it flow a little more. The last thing I will do is add a song to play throughout the duration of the card to ensure the full attention of those who watch.

To create this (hopefully) wonderful card I believe I know most things about flash that I will need to use. The first thing I will need to do is draw all the figures which should be pretty easy in flash with all of the boxes and circles that you can draw at the click of a button. The second thing I’ll need to do is add the tweens etc. to all the different layers which should turn out to be easy because I have practiced this many times before in all of the worksheets and packets. The last thing I will need to do in order to create a spectacular card is add colour which I have now done a total of 5 times which should have given me plenty of practice, so I should fly through that part with ease.

In conclusion I hope I have had enough practice in order to create a wonderful e-card with all of the criteria needed and more.
