what a graphic designer
in Linz does for you

Graphic design in Linz B2B rarely means advertising and mostly means order. Data sheets, product catalogues, technical descriptions and trade show stands have to be understandable first and beautiful second. A buyer looks for a figure in a catalogue, not for imagery. We design so they find it within seconds, and the whole thing still looks like your company rather than a stock template.

tables people can actually read

TECHNIK // LESBARKEIT

A data sheet with forty values is not a design exercise, it is a question of spacing, line weights and hierarchy. Set wrong, it costs your customers time and your sales team follow-up calls. We build such pages so the most important figure gets found first.

a system once, then hundreds of pages

KATALOG // SERIE

For catalogues and spare parts lists, designing each page individually is not worth it. We set up a grid and paragraph styles that new products drop into without anyone redesigning. That pays off from around twenty pages and then carries for years.

german and english side by side

EXPORT // ZWEISPRACHIG

Anyone exporting from Linz needs the same document in two languages, and English text is usually shorter than German. If the layout is not prepared for that, everything shifts in the second version. We set documents up from the start so both languages fit without rework.

what graphic design
in Linz costs

A single job starts at 290€, for example a data sheet or an ad in a trade publication. For ongoing work a monthly allowance from 590€ makes more sense, because with industrial clients small changes come up constantly, new items, changed values, another language version. Pure artwork starts at 190€. For a catalogue we only name a price once we know the scope, anything else would be guessing.

Need a brand first?

This page is for businesses that already have their visual identity and want to apply it. If logo, colours and typeface still have to be created, that is a brand project. To the brand packages from 850€

Your contact

bernhard müllauer

I write the quote, I design, I build. You do not get an account manager standing between you and the work, you talk to the same person from the first question until after launch.

If something does not make sense, I say so, even when that makes the project smaller. In the long run that is more pleasant for both sides. I come to Linz when a trade show stand is coming up or I should see the products in reality once.

Process

how an idea turns
into a print file

Design does not get better by polishing one draft longer, it gets better by trying many directions early and throwing most of them away. That is why the first days are the wildest and the last ones the calmest. A single job is usually done within a week, a bigger piece in two to three.

Options per phase
  1. 01

    Briefing

    Everything is still open. We ask what it is for, who sees it and what it has to do.

  2. 02

    Sketches

    Many rough directions, fast and cheap. This phase is for discarding, not refining.

  3. 03

    Drafts

    Two or three directions get worked out far enough that you can judge them.

  4. 04

    Refinement

    One direction remains. Now it is about spacing, type sizes and details.

  5. 05

    Artwork

    One result, in every format, ready to print. Nothing gets designed here any more, only checked.

Qualitative view of our process, without absolute values

Linz in detail

documents that
last for years

In the Linz industrial environment a document has a completely different lifespan than an advertisement. A product catalogue often accompanies a component for years, gets reprinted, extended and translated. So quality is not decided by the first draft, but by whether the thing can still be extended cleanly in two years without anyone resetting everything. That is exactly what we set the files up for.

your sales team knows where it snags

Before we design, we ask your sales team which questions come up most often. If three out of five customers cannot find the same figure, that is not a customer problem, it is a layout problem. That round takes an hour and changes the document more than any discussion about colour.

we sit in vienna, not in linz

We say that openly. For documents it hardly matters, because coordination happens on the file anyway. We do come to Linz when a trade show stand is coming up, or when we need to have seen products in reality once in order to present them sensibly. From Vienna that is half a day.

which file you
need for what

The most common reason a file comes back from the print shop is the wrong format. You always get every variant from us at once, so you never have to ask again. You can use this overview even if you have the design made elsewhere.

Logo on the websiteSVGScales without loss to poster size and usually weighs only a few kilobytes.
Logo in Word and PowerPointPNGWith a transparent background and at least 1,000 pixels wide, otherwise it blurs when enlarged.
Photos on the websiteWebPNoticeably smaller than JPG at the same quality. Smaller images mean faster loading, which means better rankings.
Social mediaPNG / JPGEvery channel has its own pixel dimensions. A post in the wrong format gets cropped, usually exactly where the text sits.
Flyer, ad, posterPDF/X-43 mm bleed all round, fonts embedded, colour profile ISO Coated v2. Any print shop takes it without asking questions.
Photos in printTIFF / PDF300 dpi at final size and CMYK instead of RGB. A phone photo is fine for screen, usually not for an A4 ad.
Logo for print shopsPDF / EPSAs a vector with fonts converted to outlines. That way it works on a business card and on a company van alike.

why creatingfaces
and not the next supplier

Because we come from the digital side and therefore think in systems rather than in single pages. Anyone building websites for years automatically sets up templates and rules instead of laying out every page by hand. That is exactly what industrial documents need when they grow and get translated. On top of that you talk to the same person who builds the file, and we can prepare the same content for your website and search engines too.

A single job starts at 290€, for example a data sheet or an ad in a trade publication. For ongoing work a monthly allowance from 590€ makes more sense, because with industrial clients small changes come up constantly. Pure artwork starts at 190€. For a catalogue we only name a price once we know the scope.

Yes, with clients in Linz that is the normal case. Data sheets, product catalogues and spare parts lists are first a question of spacing, line weights and hierarchy, and only then of looks. We build such pages so the most important figure gets found first, and set up a grid that new products drop into.

No, we set documents up bilingually from the start. English text is usually shorter than German, and if the layout is not prepared for that, everything shifts in the second version. When we plan for it from the beginning, both languages fit the same grid without rework.

That is exactly what we set the files up for. Instead of laying out every page by hand, we build grids and paragraph styles that new items drop into without anyone redesigning. That pays off from around twenty pages and then carries for years. You can extend it yourself afterwards, or we handle it within the monthly allowance.

Through file and video, because with documents the coordination happens on the document anyway. We come to Linz when a trade show stand is coming up, or when we need to have seen products in reality once in order to present them sensibly. From Vienna that is half a day.
