Technical illustration for appealing presentations
Technical illustrations and images are essential for efficient manuals, handbooks and technical operating instructions. As experts in this field, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality and accurate technical illustrations that visually represent complex concepts and information. Our experienced graphic designers, technical illustrators and media specialists combine their expertise with creative talent to produce engaging and informative visuals. In addition, we not only create the conditions for comprehensible documentation, but also customise illustrations and graphics to suit the customer and target group.
Creation of exploded views, assembly & installation instructions, infographics and more
Illustrations play a crucial role in communicating technical information. They make it possible to explain complex processes, designs and functions to both experts and laypersons. We create interdisciplinary illustrations:
- Exploded views: By showing individual parts of a complex system or component pulled apart, we enable a detailed view of the internal structures and components.
- Assembly instructions: With clear and precise illustrations, we help you to explain the assembly of products or systems step by step. This makes assembly more efficient and minimises errors.
- Sectional views: By adding sections and transparent areas to illustrations, we provide a detailed insight into complex devices and how they work.
- 3D visualisations: Using state-of-the-art 3D software, we create realistic and detailed visualisations of your products. This enables a precise visualisation of design, proportions and functionality.
- Infographics, diagrams & pictograms: We combine technical information with visually appealing graphics and diagrams to present complex data and interrelationships in an easy-to-understand and clear manner.
- Online help: We create detailed and well-structured online help to help users navigate and use your product or system. By integrating illustrations, screenshots and step-by-step instructions, we make it easier for users to find relevant information and solve problems.
- Quick User Guides: These compact and easy-to-understand instructions provide a quick overview of the most important functions and operating steps of your product. We combine clear text with visual elements to give users immediate access to the information they need.
Our technical illustrations can be delivered in a variety of formats, including printed materials, digital media and interactive applications. We adapt to your specific requirements and offer customised solutions.
When creating our illustrations, we emphasise accuracy, detail and aesthetic quality. Our aim is to present technical information in a way that is both informative and visually appealing.
Advantages of using technical illustrations in documentation
The use of technical illustrations in documentation offers a wide range of benefits that both manufacturers and users of products or systems appreciate.
- Reduced translation costs: By using illustrations and images, language-independent information can be conveyed. This means that less text needs to be translated, resulting in significant cost savings when translating technical documentation into different languages.
- Reduced printing costs: The extensive use of illustrations makes it possible to reduce the volume of printed technical documentation. Fewer pages mean lower printing costs and a more environmentally friendly approach.
- Increased reading appeal through a high proportion of images: Text-heavy documents can be discouraging for users. By using illustrations and pictorial instructions, the visual aspect is emphasised, which increases the readability and attractiveness of the documentation. Users are more likely to be motivated to read and understand the documentation.
- Simple visualisation of complex technical relationships: Technical information can often be complex and difficult to understand. Technical illustrations make it possible to visualise this information, making it easier for users to grasp and understand. Complex technical contexts can be grasped and understood at a glance.
- Easy to understand for the target group: Every target group has different knowledge and experience. Illustrations provide visual support that makes it possible to convey information in a way that is easy to understand. By using visual elements, even complex processes and functions can be made understandable, regardless of the user's technical background.
The use of illustrations in technical documentation therefore offers a number of advantages, including reduced translation costs, reduced printing costs, increased reader appeal, simple presentation of complex technical contexts and easy comprehensibility for the target group. These advantages contribute to an improved user experience, more efficient use of the documentation and ultimately to satisfied users.
