German term

vom ersten Bleistiftstrich an

German to English Marketing Manufacturing bicycle parts manufacturer
Geforscht wird bei XXXXX aber keinesfalls im Elfenbeinturm, entwickelt nicht, um der Entwicklung willen, sondern ganz gezielt mit der praktischen Anwendung im Blick. So arbeitet das Unternehmen hervorragend mit zahlreichen Profi-Radsportteams wie AG2R, BMC Racing, Caisse d’Epargne, Cervelo, HTC Columbia, Team Sky oder Skil Shimano, aber auch vielen Amateur- und Breitensportlern zusammen. Deren Erfahrungen, Wissen und Wünsche fließen buchstäblich ***vom ersten Bleistiftstrich an*** in die Entwicklung und das Design mit ein, so dass am Ende Produkte stehen, die optimal an die Bedürfnisse der Anwender angepasst sind. Produkte von Radfahrern für Radfahrer.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

This is where the Jacklin Design Group is truly unique. Tony has a constant influence throughout the entire end-to-end design process, from the first pencil line, right through construction and where required, including the additional long-term advisory roles, consultancy and marketing of the course, including press, VIP, membership, PR and launch events.

Everything that goes into an instrument from the first pencil stroke of the design, hand selection of a specific piece of wood, thickness of a finish, to the strings will affect instrument tone. Every choice I make during the creation of a instrument is judged for it's cascading effect upon the instrument.
