BENEFITS/IMPROVEMENT:
Based on the QKSMS description, I thought of an "Android Superhero" and a "mail" idea to fit in the details of this 'magical sms application' and because of this I can say that it helps to be more noticeable based on QKSMS's description.
TOOLS:
I used Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 in designing this new proposed icon and Microsoft PowerPoint for the presentation.
