Illustrations play an important role in the technically oriented Siedle communication. Carefully drafted and selectively employed, they contribute to a consistent presence.

In keeping with the design principles, typical Siedle illustrations are reduced in their display. Relevant formal elements are only used to achieve understanding. Everything superficial is omitted.

Visualization

Siedle illustrations represent a specific interaction of lines, surfaces and colours. The perspective of the Siedle drawings is selected in such a way as to enable optimum representation of the desired function or image statement.
