Design concepts for technical documentation

There is a multitude of possibilities for the design of your information. It is still rather rare for a company-wide corporate design to be available which also defines the design of technical documentation. Depending on which medium the information is published in, additional perspectives are unlocked. Paper format, use of color, layout, symbol use, screen design – each aspect deserves fundamental consideration and binding rules. The ideal case is for attractive representation of the contents and the support of target access to go hand in hand.


Our procedure:

• We arrange company-wide specifications and relevant guidelines with you, e.g. dimensions of product packages.
• We determine if differing design specifications should apply to varying information products with varying purposes and varying target groups.
• We consider the demands for an economically efficient illustration of the contents according to the intended concept.
• We define the design concept from the media to size formats (paper format for printing, screen format for online information) to the use of color up to the text design.
• We create sample pages and agree to them with you.
• We record the design rules in design guidelines.
• We include the design rules as much as possible in your editorial tool.

Advantages for you:

• Support of the product impression through appropriate design of the documentation
• Cost-effective preparation of the documentation in the scope of preparation-friendly specifications
• Support of the users in accessing the information
• Improved readability, absorption, and therefore comprehensibility of the information
