János T.
Last position:
Project management, typesetting, final artwork, creation of language variants at Regiolux GmbH
For Regiolux GmbH, I produced several brochures and an info sheet in seven different languages in this project. To make offset printing especially efficient and cost-effective, I implemented all language variants in Adobe InDesign on separate layers. This way, the different versions could be produced by simply swapping the black printing plate—a simple but effective solution.
In addition to working according to the corporate design, my tasks also included final artwork and creating web and print PDFs. I coordinated communication with translation agencies and printers, ensuring a smooth project flow.

About the technology
Vector design foundations
Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics application used to create artwork that stays sharp at any size. Companies use it for logos, visual identities, icons, illustrations, signage and marketing assets. Its paths, shapes, layers and precise typography controls support both concept work and production-ready files.
Brand and campaign assets
Illustrator specialists turn brand systems into consistent visual materials across print and digital channels. They prepare logo families, social graphics, presentation visuals, editorial artwork and campaign elements while keeping color, spacing and typography aligned with brand guidelines.
- Create and refine logos, symbols and icon sets
- Produce illustrations for packaging, publishing and advertising
- Adapt artwork for print, web and large-format output
- Build reusable templates and organized asset libraries
Tools and production workflow
The work often connects Adobe Illustrator with Photoshop, InDesign and the wider Adobe Creative Cloud. Strong knowledge of artboards, clipping masks, appearance panels, brushes, gradients, typography, SVG export and color profiles helps specialists move from rough direction to reliable final files. Experience with Figma or other design tools can also support handoff.
When companies need specialists
Freelance expertise is useful when a brand launch, packaging range or campaign creates a short-term production peak. It also helps when internal teams need a fresh visual direction, consistent vector assets or careful file preparation for printers, manufacturers and digital teams.
- Convert sketches or raster references into clean vector artwork
- Prepare dielines, print files and supplier-ready deliverables
- Rework inconsistent brand assets into a coherent system
- Deliver editable source files with clear layers and naming
Quality signals
Strong professionals combine visual judgment with technical discipline. They ask about audience, application, dimensions, output method and brand constraints before drawing. Their portfolios show controlled paths, balanced composition and purposeful typography, while their source files are easy to edit and reuse.
Collaboration and handoff
Illustrator projects work well remotely when briefs, references and review stages are clearly documented. In Berlin, specialists may collaborate with creative, marketing, product and production teams on-site or online, with German or English communication depending on the company. A dependable handoff includes packaged assets, linked files, fonts where permitted and export versions suited to each channel.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Adobe Illustrator.
Adobe Illustrator is used to create vector artwork such as logos, icons, illustrations, packaging graphics and signage. Because artwork is built from paths rather than fixed pixels, it can scale from a small label to a large display without losing sharpness.
Adobe Illustrator is usually the better choice for logos, precise shapes, typography and scalable artwork. Photoshop is more suited to pixel-based image editing, retouching and compositing, so many projects use both applications together.
A strong Adobe Illustrator specialist may also understand InDesign, Photoshop, Adobe Creative Cloud libraries, print production, color management and SVG. Knowledge of Figma can help when vector assets must move into product or interface workflows.
The right level depends on the deliverable rather than a fixed time period. A simple asset may need focused production skills, while a packaging system or brand identity requires proven ability in concept development, vector construction, file organization and print-ready delivery.
Adobe Illustrator projects are often well suited to remote collaboration when the brief, references, dimensions and review process are clear. Berlin companies can also choose on-site collaboration when workshops with brand, marketing or production teams are central to the work.
Ask for organized, editable source files with clear layers, named artboards and correctly handled linked assets. Depending on the use case, the handoff may also include PDF, SVG, EPS or raster exports, plus color and print settings that match the production requirements.
Review whether Adobe Illustrator examples show clean paths, consistent curves, strong spacing and typography that remains legible at the intended size. Also inspect how the specialist explains decisions and whether the portfolio includes production files, adaptations or real-world applications rather than only polished mockups.
Adobe Illustrator is widely used for packaging artwork, labels, dielines, technical marks and print-ready graphics. A specialist should understand bleed, trim, overprint, spot colors, linked files and how to coordinate artwork with printers or manufacturing partners.
