Flash postcard creation tool

1 DESCRIPTION OF EXPECTED SOLUTION A tool for creating print-ready postcards should be developed using Adobe Flash. This tool will be published on a website for customers to create self-made postcards, which can be sent to friends and colleagues. 1.1 MUSTHAVE CRITERIA - A preset of predefined postcard formats should be used as canvas and “work space” for the customer to choose from. - Additional formats must be addable without changing program code (e.g. using a xml configuration file). - Formats can contain non-editable areas. - Images can be dragged onto the canvas. These images have two origins: a system library and a user library. - The users’ library must be externally loadable (e.g. using a [login to view URL], [login to view URL]); this must be passed in as an external parameter of the flash application. - Images can be uploaded to the users’ library. - Uploading must provide a status feedback (e.g. status bar). - Images can be scaled in size. - Images can be rotated. - Images can be moved on the canvas. - Text can be placed on the canvas - Text can be formatted (e.g. size, color and style). - Text can be aligned. - Text can be moved on the canvas. - The customer can design a front and a back side. - The canvas must be viewable a zoom-range of 10% up to 200%. - Text and image layers must be arrangable (e.g. bring to front/back). - The tool must create an image with an min. DPI value of 150, preserving the layering and positioning of all elements on the canvas. 1.2 NICETOHAVE CRITERIA - Opacity can be set on text and image layers. - Images can be cropped. - Rulers and grids. - Snapping to rulers and grids. - Guidelines as helpers. - Snapping to guidelines. - Postcard designs can be saved for later editing or reuse. 1.3 NOT WANTED FOR THIS SOLUTION - Image filtering (e.g. blurs, dithers, scattering, artistic effects…). - Image manipulation (e.g. hue/saturation, brightness, colors). 1.4 SAMPLES For better understanding, we provide some links to sample apps. - [login to view URL];CompanyID=1&UserID=0 - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL];language=GERMAN
