Metropolia eCards Generator

Tasked with creating a holiday greeting card generator for Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, I designed a sleek, easy-to-use platform where Students and staff can send custom e-cards with animation created by Metropolia graphic design students.

Functionality is simple. Users select an animation, fill in recipient details, and add a message to the back. After the animation finishes, the personalized message is revealed.

The project owner wanted a minimalist design matching Metropolia's staff intranet and branding guidelines. As a result, the site has a clean, accessible interface that focuses on illustrations and ease of use. I ensured navigation was intuitive, letting users create e-cards easily.

The backend was implemented in PHP. Each generated card gets a unique URL for sharing by email or social media. Users log in with organizational credentials to save and manage cards.

Key Features:

  • Custom Animations: Front-side animations by Metropolia graphic design students.
  • User-Friendly Design: Minimalist, easy-to-navigate interface that ensures an effortless card creation process.
  • Unique Shareable Links: Each e-card has a unique URL for easy sharing.
  • Login-Based System: Users sign in with Metropolia credentials to personalize, save, and reuse e-cards.

The project combined design, web development, and user experience to deliver a functional, visually appealing holiday greeting tool for the university.
