This brief has faced me with app design, which is something I never thought I would be fairly interested in or inclined to try, but it is something obviously I needed to test my hand at to most efficiently respond to this brief. This meant to most efficiently produce prototypes of my app it was suggested to me in my group discussion with one of the guys from Only that I check out a piece of new software called Adobe XD beta - this software allowed me to easily design and prototype my app all within the same software which is incredibly useful. As this brief asks for prototypes that are working, animated or navigable, XD has allowed me to effortlessly link each page of the app and focus the links onto specific symbols/buttons/words to prototype a real working app, but in much simpler terms. In comparison to creating something like this on After Effects; it would have been incredibly more tedious and it just doesn't offer the same ease and appropriateness.
As XD is a beta its still being developed so it is still being piloted and improved, I did find this caused some smaller problems - e.g the resize of images can be difficult to perfect. However this does not take anything away from the app itself, for me it was the easiest Adobe software to get to grips with and then learn shortcuts with, etc
