-Flip Book - Interesting and it had a lot of control on how you actually want the background and much more. It is really simple but it is time consuming and it has a limit to 100 pages if you are not a member.

-Comic Book - It has the basic structure already set up and it is a little difficult when you first open it, but it has a tutorial that helps out. It has already set characters and backgrounds which is limited to certain things.

They were really close but the comic strip came up 1 point short. It was 17 for comic book and 18 flip book.

I believe it was thanks to the simplicity is why it won it got a 5 because it was so simple to use when you first opened. It practically explains itself so you don't need a tutorial at all. I really enjoyed how you can do so much and that its so simple.

I also feel it was really annoying because i felted limited to certain things when i was using the comic strip and i feel like i can place more things i like on the flip book so i can correctly teach the student. So i gave options a 5.

Flip book was the one that got a lot more points. The reason for that is because the simplicity was outstanding and it had a lot of freedom when it comes to creating the final product. I can practically draw anything i like that is why i gave entertainment a 5 and options 4.

The layout wasn't as strong as it could have been, so i gave it a 4. It was lacking a lot in that area but it gave me the chance to add as much as i want on each page. I felt i could take advantage of that completely. The flip book pages were limited but it doesn't matter because I don't really need that many pages.

The Comic Book lost just by 1 point because of one spot that i was comparing because of the simplicity of the project.

The layout was already set so i gave a 5 for this and also the project also seemed entertaining so i gave it a 5. The layout was really strong and i could do so much with the layout. It also gave different types of backgrounds.

Options i gave it a 4 because it is really limited. The layout was really strong and it had a very nice structure but i was very limited on what you could put or how you wanted your background. I felt the options that the backgrounds were given would not be good enough to placed in a project that would teach about the design cycle.

Entertainment i gave it a 5 because it seems like a student would really enjoy it but honestly i don't feel a story could be made with the options given so that's why the flip book has more possibilities.

The product will be a flipbook that will help the student learn how to use the design cycle.


Reflection
I chose the flipbook because it was better than the comic strip, but i was unaware of how both of these lacked tremendously when trying to teach young students the design cycle. The step I should have taken in this part should have been to pick products that seemed more successful and not the first ones i saw.
