Design Considerations
- eBay wants to develop a responsive (mobile/desktop/tablet) application.
The goal of this design challenge is: Review the existing flow and redesign the UX - we want an all new design!
- Keeping the spirit of the purpose of the application.
- Following the "ebay inc." style guidelines and designing in line with the common header that is attached.
- Note: Your new application design will fit within the provided navigation
- Use current "flat design" techniques and iOS7 influence
- Ensuring it is EASY to use.

The User Story
- The user accesses "You Just Made My Day" Application via his/her mobile or desktop browser
- The user will access the application Homepage where it shows some postcard examples.

- The user will select a postcard to send to another employee.
- After a post card is selected the user will be able to personalize his postcard.
- Then the user will be able to preview his postcard and send it or get back to edit his message again.
- If the user sends his postcard a confirmation will be shown that his postcard is sent.
- On the other end the recipient will be able to see the post card when he opens his email.
- Also the manger of that employee will be able to view the postcard sent to any of his team members.
