Flip Book

This is my rating for flip book. I rated four categories of the Flipbook. I rated text with a score of 2, my reason for rating this a two is because i find it very difficult to write with the mouse. In addition  to that, the font looks UGLY. The good part of the text is that it has different types of sizes. The Flipbook also allows you to write anywhere on the page.The text can also be very easy to read, yet it can be very complex depending on how the person can draw or write with the mouse. Also, the text has a diverse variety of colors you can use in the text. The text received a two, because it was simple to use but yet challenging.  

                   I also rated the characters on the Flipbook. My rating for characters was a 3. Flipbook doesn't actually have characters. Even if  the Flipbook has no actual characters there can be from 1 character to a million characters. In flipbook you create your own characters.Your characters can be any color any shape any size they can be like aliens, they can be however you want .

              Flipbook is very easy to use. For simplicity I rated flipbook a 5. Flipbook is very simple to use. You can use any color that you want for text,background,etc. Connecting to that the Flipbook can be accessed from anyplace with internet access. It is very simple to use you can make very colorful or very dull. You can make your fonts GIGANTIC or tiny . You can make it as long as you want,well if your a guest you have a limit to 100frames only. Flipbook has very few limitations,you can do a lot of things.For color i rated a five there is every color all of them that you want
