The prototype must be designed for either the web, iOS (for iOS 8 or lat-er), or the Android platform (for Kitkat or later, but preferably using the Material Design standard). As this is just a prototype, polish and sheen are not required, yet highly appreciated.

Alongside your concept, prepare a maximum two-page brief on your prototype. This brief must include the editors position, specific need addressed, the platform used (and any third-party frameworks), and your rationale explaining the process you took in building this piece of software.

Further instructions will be provided for delivery of this requirement.
