Product Prototyping Tools

[Knoop, Peter]

If you like qucick-and-easy mock-up strategies like PowerPoint, you
might also want to consider OneNote, which adds the benefit of the
back-of-the-envelope or bar-napkin approach.  It works the same as
PowerPoint in terms of easily making pieces of graphics, screen
clippings, etc. "active" by placing a link over the right part to use to
navigate between mockups.  If you have Tablet PC, you can also quickly
draw the pieces of a UI that might be missing from your screen shots, or
even just rapidly scribble out a whole UI.  You can also save the whole
package as a web page, if you want to share it with folks who don't have
OneNote to click through.
