BLiQ
The Berlin State Institute for Qualification and Quality Development in Schools (BLiQ) is the central point of contact for the continuous professional development of teachers and educational staff in schools.
For the Berlin State Institute BLiQ I handled the complete graphic realisation of a poster, a roll-up and three flyers. The scope of work comprised design, layout, typesetting, typographic fine-tuning, prepress artwork, image editing, colour management and the creation of charts and tables.
The design was based on the BLiQ design manual and consistently geared towards clear communication, high readability and a uniform appearance. The final deliverables were print-ready PDF files in the CMYK colour space as well as accessible PDF versions for the web.







Stottern & Selbsthilfe
Bundesvereinigung Stottern & Selbsthilfe e.V. (BVSS), the German stuttering association’s information and advice centre
For the brochure “Faktencheck Stottern” (stuttering fact check), I took care of the entire graphic production – from concept, layout and typesetting to typographic fine-tuning, image editing and prepress artwork.
The design follows the BVSS corporate design and is geared towards good readability. Finally, I created a web-optimised PDF version and a print-ready PDF in CMYK colour space.





Unfairtobacco
is a project of the Berlin State Working Group on Environment and Development (Blue 21 e.V.) that has existed since 2004
For Unfairtobacco, I created several multilingual brochures and took care of the entire graphic production: concept, layout, typesetting, typographic fine-tuning, prepress artwork, image editing, colour management and the creation of charts and tables.
Each project was completed with a print-ready PDF in CMYK colour space and an optimised PDF version for the web.

FAQ
Why should I work with János Theil?
Are you looking for a partner for typography, layout and prepress who doesn’t just execute but thinks along with you? With many years of experience in demanding specialist publications, I bring everything that makes your publication successful: a trained eye for micro- and macro-typography, technical prepress know-how and a fine sense for clean prepress artwork.
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 detailed briefing, I take care of layout, typography and prepress for your specialist publication, exactly according to your specifications. I deliver more than just print-ready files and ensure meticulous typography, correct line and page breaks and colour-accurate print files. I stay in close contact with you, keep you continuously up to date and keep to agreed deadlines.
Roughly what costs can I expect?
The costs for layout, typesetting, prepress artwork and prepress depend on the type and scope of your publication. I usually offer a transparent price per page and list all services in detail. This keeps you in full control of your budget, without 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.
