AbbVie | History of HCV

AbbVie commissioned an interactive digital experience to serve as a comprehensive historical narrative of HCV evolution. This 32-page interactive timeline integrates high-fidelity 3D rendering and custom iconography into a portable sales toolkit, chronicling the journey from pivotal research studies to progressive modern treatments.

Concept Development
The development of this 32-page timeline required a meticulous balance between high-density clinical data and mobile usability. Designed as a living document, the project pushed Adobe Acrobat to its technical limits to ensure the narrative remained both sophisticated and user-friendly.
Legacy Architecture: Engineered a complex interactive framework within the PDF format, maximizing the software’s capability to manage an immense volume of historical and clinical data.
Iterative Design for Longevity: Developed a flexible file structure that allowed for periodic updates, ensuring AbbVie’s ongoing research and new treatment milestones could be integrated without compromising the original design.
Multi-Model Virus Visualization: Produced a series of 3D iterations of the HCV virus in 3DS Max. This provided a scientifically accurate and visually compelling anchor for the report’s clinical aesthetic.
Vector-Based Data Precision: Leveraged Adobe Illustrator to create a library of custom graphics and icons, ensuring complex study results remained sharp and legible across all mobile and tablet resolutions.
