Low Fidelity Prototype
To start, I quickly sketched out ideas on tabloid paper with pens and markers. Scanned documents and used Keynote build animations to bring my ideas to life, with minimal turnaround time.

Medium Fidelity Prototype
For the medium fidelity prototype, I continued to use Keynote for animation but used Sketch App to draw up assets instead of relying on paper sketching. I also added sound effects to help communicate how usage would proceed.
Final Resolution
For the final stage of our project, we scaled back the overall scope to that of only prompting for citations, instead of prompting and enabling quick citing. We built the product into a fully functioning Chrome Extension — it's available on the Chrome Web Store.
