Technical Product Sheet with Freelance Graphic Designer — Selçuk Aker

For the freelance graphic designer, the technical product leaflet is a different reading problem than the catalog cover. In addition to liking the product, the customer wants to understand whether it meets his needs. Units and measurement conditions must be verified by the technical team.

Create fixed property titles

Identify common areas in the product family. Keep the value and the unit in the same reading group. The technical officer should explain which expressions such as dash, unknown or not applicable will be used for empty data.

Strengthen the relationship between drawing and table

Let the signs in the technical drawing appear with the same name in the table. Recheck the match when arrows or letters are changed. Decorative cropping of the photo should not prevent the customer from identifying the product.

Test the system with a difficult example

Start with the product that has the most features. When the explanation gets longer, let it be clear where the footnote will be shown and the rule for moving to the second page. Then apply it to the short product sheet to check that the gaps remain consistent.

Brief check before delivery

  • Do the technical values match the approved source?
  • Are the units and footnotes clear?
  • Is the product code correct on all pages?
