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.
