This hand-drawn low-fidelity prototype presents a charming, story-driven interactive e-book that fulfils the basic brief of the assessment effectively. The simple line-art aesthetic keeps focus on user flow and narrative structure rather than decorative detail, which is a thoughtful and appropriate choice for a prototyping stage.

The consistent navigation bar across all scenes creates reliable spatial awareness for the reader, and the clear "click hotspot" labels remove ambiguity about interactive elements — an important usability consideration for younger target audiences. The forest adventure premise built around the fox character Lila establishes a gentle, cohesive narrative world, and publishing the prototype publicly on itch.io with a built-in comment section enables direct user feedback, which aligns well with the iterative design approach outlined in the assignment.

To elevate the design further, consider introducing varied interaction types beyond basic taps — such as swipe gestures, drag-and-drop actions, or sequence-based hotspots — to add layered engagement across the story scenes. It would also strengthen immersion to integrate story text more organically into the illustration space, instead of containing it in separate boxes. Additionally, confirm that the full set of required screens — a distinct home page, four complete narrative scenes, and a closing credits page — are all fully implemented. Adding subtle visual and contextual feedback for completed interactions, rather than only static hotspot markers, would also make the story feel more responsive and rewarding for the reader.

Overall, it is a functional, conceptually clear prototype with a strong creative core, and these adjustments would strengthen its UX polish and alignment with best practices for interactive children’s media.
