The short version
You’ll have one approved look, and a folder of files that work for your printer, your web team, and your next job without redoing anything.
We’ll handle the graphic design that turns scattered pieces into one set of decisions you can use across print and web, with files your printer can run without guessing. Next, we’ll confirm what you need first and set a schedule for the first proofs.
We start by tightening what you already have, then we build the system around it. That means clean vectors, colours that can be matched, and layouts that hold up at the size they will actually be printed. You’ll see one direction become the final, documented in a guide so it stays consistent.
About us
We’re a three-person studio in Leipzig doing graphic design that has to survive the real world: shop windows, labels, posters, menus, invoices, and the printers and suppliers who need correct files. Mara leads the design choices. Jonas builds the artwork and prepress files. Klara keeps production moving and chases the details before your printer has to.
Most people come to us after seeing work that looked fine on screen and fell apart in print. We prevent that by setting specs early, building everything in vectors where it matters, and checking exports the way a printer checks them. We don’t leave you with a pile of options. We help you pick a direction, lock it in, and document it so every new piece matches.
Who you will work with
You’ll work with all three of us, and you’ll always know who is doing what and what happens next.
Team
Mara Seidel, Design lead. Mara is our design lead. She sets the direction, presents the proofs, and makes sure the logo and layouts read well at real sizes.
Jonas Richter, Prepress and artwork. Jonas handles prepress and artwork. He redraws and cleans vectors, builds packaging dielines, and exports the files printers and sign shops ask for.
Klara Voigt, Production coordinator. Klara is our production coordinator. She keeps the schedule tight, gathers specs from suppliers, and makes sure nothing is waiting on an unanswered question.
Selected work
This is the kind of graphic design we do most often: identity work tied to print pieces that have to be produced accurately and used every day.
Portfolio
Logo clean-up and redraw. A hand-drawn logo that printed fuzzy and inconsistent was rebuilt as clean vector artwork, with corrected spacing and a set of sizes that stayed legible on invoices and signage.
A1 poster street series. A set of event posters designed as a series, with fixed type styles and a grid that let dates and venues change fast without changing the look. Each poster was set up with print specs for street posting.
Packaging dieline artwork. Label and box artwork built on supplier dielines, with barcodes placed to scanning size and clear overprint settings. The printer received one production-ready PDF per SKU with the right bleed and cut lines.
“Everything matched, and the printer stopped coming back with questions.”
Owner-manager, preparing a relaunch
How we work
We run graphic design like production work: decisions first, then files that a printer can use. You’ll see proofs early, and you’ll always know what we’re waiting on and what you can approve next.
1. Kickoff and intake Days 1-2 We collect what you already have, plus any must-keep details like names, product ranges, legal lines, and existing printer specs. If you have a printer or supplier lined up, we’ll ask for their requirements so we build to them from the start. 2. Direction and proofs Week 1 We develop one clear design direction and show it in the places you will actually use it, like a label, poster, menu page, or invoice. You review it, we adjust, and once it’s approved we treat it as the decision we build everything else from. 3. Artwork and production files Weeks 2-3 We redraw and clean the logo as vectors, set the colour values for print and screen, and build the layouts for your print pieces. Jonas prepares the press-ready PDFs with bleed, trim, and exports that match the supplier specs, then we run a preflight check before sending. 4. Handover and support Week 4 You receive the final file set and the brand guidelines PDF so the rules are written down, not remembered. If your printer or sign shop comes back with a technical question, we’ll answer it and supply an updated export where needed.
Final logo files
Your approved logo as vector and web files, ready for print and screen use, with versions for light and dark backgrounds where needed.
MINI VISUAL IDENTITY SET
Colour palette and type choices with the exact values for print and web, so a printer and a website builder can match the same look.
BRAND GUIDELINES PDF
A clear PDF guide covering logo use, spacing, colour values, type rules, and a few real examples so new pieces stay consistent.
Print-ready layouts
Press-ready PDFs for agreed items like flyers, posters, brochures, catalogues, menus, or reports, set up with bleed, trim, and correct exports.
PACKAGING AND LABEL ARTWORK
Production-ready artwork placed on supplier dielines, including barcodes where required and separate files per product or size if needed.
SIGNAGE-READY FILES
Production-ready files for signage and wayfinding, exported to the specs your sign maker asks for, with fonts outlined or supplied as required.
What it costs
Pick the tier that matches how many pieces you need us to take through to finished, production-ready files.

Getting started
If you’d like us to hold time in the schedule, the simplest way is to sign and send the booking payment so we can start intake.
1. Sign this proposal. 2. We’ll send the 40% booking invoice, payable within 14 days. 3. We’ll book the kickoff call and start gathering specs from your printer or suppliers.
Signature
Fee summary
Payment
To book the work, we invoice 40% when you sign. We invoice the remaining 60% when the finished work is handed over. Each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date.
Changes. Each package includes the rounds of changes listed in pricing. A round is one compiled set of notes. Extra rounds are available, and we’ll quote them before we start that work.
What we need. Before we start Week 1, we need your kickoff answers, any existing logos and files, your product or service list, and printer or supplier specs if you already have them.
Printer and suppliers. We can work directly with your printer and suppliers for specs, proofs, and file checks. You’ll keep the final say on quantities, materials, and any supplier costs billed to you.
Production-ready files. We set up print files with bleed, trim, colour settings, and export standards based on the target printer. If specs change after sign-off, we’ll update files as a change request.
Ownership
Once the final invoice is paid, you own the final approved design files we deliver for this project. We keep working files and drafts so we can support updates and reprints later.
Project changes. If the scope changes, we’ll describe the change in writing, quote the added time or cost, and wait for your approval. We do not start out-of-scope work on a verbal request.
Timing and pauses. Our timeline assumes feedback arrives within two business days on proofs. If feedback pauses for more than a week, we’ll reschedule the remaining work to the next available slot.
Handover support. For 14 days after handover, we’ll answer supplier questions and make small export adjustments at no charge. New layouts, new sizes, and new content edits are quoted as new work.
