Universitätsmedizin
of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz – Clinic and Polyclinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy
From the initial design, picture research and image editing through layout and typesetting to the creation of charts and tables and the prepress artwork, the entire graphic realisation of this scientific publication was my responsibility. I developed a clearly structured, highly readable design with a comprehensible visual logic. The only design requirement was the corporate colours of Universitätsmedizin Mainz, which were integrated into the overall layout as a unifying visual element.
The result is a publication conceived and designed entirely from scratch, delivered as a BFSG-compliant, accessible PDF/UA file in line with current accessibility standards.





Diakonisches Werk
Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz e.V. – represents the social institutions as well as the educational and health services of the Protestant churches in Berlin, Brandenburg and Silesian Upper Lusatia.
For this publication I handled layout, typesetting and prepress artwork based on the corporate design. The content was imported automatically from Excel spreadsheets into Adobe InDesign, complemented by custom-designed icons and location maps for Berlin and Brandenburg. Finally, I created a print-ready PDF as well as a BFSG-compliant, accessible PDF/UA file.

My contribution to a successful collaboration
Your project will impress
Beautiful design, clean layout, fast delivery. From the very first pixel to the final stop. That is what I can offer you.
With my wide range of services and my independent approach to work, I can assure you that your assignments will be carried out with the greatest care.

I therefore handle every project carefully and efficiently. Even when faced with complex tasks, I always remain clear, focused and, above all, solution-oriented.
FAQ
Why should I work with János Theil?
Looking for a partner for accessible PDFs to the PDF/UA standard who doesn't just execute but also thinks ahead? With many years of experience in InDesign, MadeToTag and PAC testing, I bring everything your documents need to succeed: a trained eye for correct tagging, technical know-how and a feel for inclusive design.
What happens at the first contact and what comes next?
Getting started is simple: a short message or a phone call is all it takes. Together we discuss your project and clarify the goals, the framework and the schedule. I then prepare a transparent quote. And your project is on track – heading for the finish line.
What does a typical project look like?
After a thorough briefing, I take care of layout, typesetting, prepress artwork and the accessible preparation of your PDF in exact accordance with the requirements of the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG). I deliver more than just print-ready files and pay attention to a correct tag structure, alternative texts and a successful PAC test. I stay in close contact with you, keep you up to date at all times and meet agreed deadlines.
Roughly what costs can I expect?
The cost of creating accessible PDFs depends on the scope, the complexity of the content (tables, charts, forms) and the source material. I usually offer a transparent price per page and itemise all services – including prepress artwork and PAC testing. This keeps you in full control of your budget, with no hidden items or nasty surprises.
How long will it take to complete my project?
I know how important deadlines and print files are. That's why I always work in a focused, efficient way with the schedule in mind. What I don't do, however, is sacrifice quality for speed. Even under pressure, my work remains accurate and precise down to the last detail.
How easy is it to reach János Theil with questions?
Throughout the entire project I am reliably and easily reachable. That way you always keep the overview and clarity. And if something comes up at short notice, a direct line makes many things easier. The result is not only a good outcome but also a pleasant collaboration.
How discreetly is confidential data handled?
A good designer can do many things – including keeping quiet. I consider discretion in handling confidential information and documents – for example annual reports or sensitive projects that have not yet been published – an integral part of my work and of my understanding of myself as a professional.
Are you ready to bring your project to life?
Tell me about your project. I look forward to hearing from you.
