Frequently asked questions
I am a graphic designer creating logos, brand identities and illustrations: is ATECO code 74.12.09 correct?
Yes, 74.12.09 covers illustrators, graphic designers, advertising designers and visual communication specialists: brand design, corporate identity, visual language, form, colour and typography for publications. It is the graphic design category beyond web pages alone.
I only do web page graphics: do I stay on 74.12.09 or use the specific code?
Use the specific code: web page graphics falls under 74.12.01. 74.12.09 is for graphic design and visual communication in a broader sense, when the web is not the only scope.
I handle concepts and the visual identity of campaigns: 74.12.09 or advertising campaign creation?
It depends. 74.12.09 covers graphic and visual design, including the content and appearance of campaigns. The actual conception of an advertising campaign — strategy and messaging — falls under 73.11.01. The question is whether you are selling the graphic work or the campaign as a whole.
