I using the Visual Studio 2012 Storyboard feature for the first time this past week and I'm sold. I had to laugh when my customer/user thought it was a snap shot of a working app. From first run to having a cool looking series of screens was hours and most of that was solid creation time (and not tool learning time). It's simple, easy and lets you draw out nice looking prototype screens in no time. And we're talking screens for Desktop apps, web, phones, etc.

Shapes are the key in this process. And while there are a number of them already in the Visual Studio Gallery for Storyboard Shapes, creating our own is a logical next step. Mohamed's post provides you some great info on doing just that...
