How
This CD for Interface Flooring helped jump start a successful sales campaign. Easy, yet sophisticated, this disk allowed salesman, end users, designers and re-sellers to see how four carpet lines could be placed in 5 types of markets. Each line had 16 colors to choose from, so the CD had to manage over 650 photographs without burdening the user.
