The creation of a technical manual is a partnership between designer and writer. The designer’s portion of the project begins by determining the appearance of the manual. The next portion of the design phase is the production of style sheets and templates for the writers to work in. Technical illustration and management of images takes place during the writing of the editorial content. Once the editorial content is finalized, we can provide the finished product whether it is printed, web-based, or both.

Our design services include consultation and several concepts for covers and interior page layouts. Once the design is finalized, we begin the production phase in preparation for the editorial contents. We create templates for the writers to work in containing all the elements essential for a consistent format, such as typography, style sheets, auto numbering, table-of-contents generators, and templates for future chapters or international translations. While the manual is being written, we work with image files and illustrations to ensure consistency of quality and sharpness. We also provide full technical illustration. Finally, we will deliver your final manual whether it is web-based, printed, or both.
