Prototyping SOLISTIC was quite the challenge as I was exposed to new design tools which I have not used before. Invision is an online software that allows designers create and prototype applications, but for me; I had begun using Sketch and so I inserted my wireframes and then prototyped. The transition needed to be adjusted to but overall the practicality became really easy.

Value Proposition:
Most people that I have talked to tell me that their main frustration is usually ads. Ads usually come with all apps if the users do not pay for the use, there are usually no other way around the ads unless a user pays for the usage. I would like to introduce more international music into the music apps. In today’s society we all listen to all kinds of music from around the world as well as in America. I also would like to improve on quick feedbacks of users, for example a “yelp” like rating system to quickly spark a users interests. The type of audience I would like to impress here are foreigners and young people from ages 10-25. easy to use. We would like to inhabit music from all over the world and share it with users far and wide. take a chance and listen to what other cultures are all about. Explore and discover music like you have never done before!
