Conception

Agere Systems, formerly a part of Lucent Technologies, asked Cortex to develop and design a browser based CD-ROM that could deliver training curriculum and marketing collateral for a key product launch. This piece was to function as an interactive overview for Agere's PayloadPlus Express network processors. To add to our design challenge, this CD-ROM was developed simultaneously with Agere's own identity development. Flash-based animations assisted this piece by demonstrating the process flow of the network processors to the user. In the end, this product helped Agere to easily deliver crucial information to a wider audience.

With no idea of what Agere's identity would look like, we concentrated our efforts on page layout and product functionality. From wireframes to mock-ups we built a solid foundation for delivering Agere's message. In the design of this product, future online delivery was a key issue we had to address. We kept everything simple and kept graphics to a minimum to keep file size down.
