Introduction
This is what we will create in this episode, a company letterhead on A4 paper with a logo, separator line, and footer address ready for printing or use as a PDF. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. A letterhead is the official identity of a company. Its layout must be neat, light, and leave enough space for the letter content. Create an A4 document with a margin of 20mm and a bleed of 3mm.
Step 1: A4 Document
A letterhead is usually printed and then filled in, so the margin is made generous.
Step 2: Circular Logo
Draw a circle using the Ellipse Tool while holding Shift, give it a blue color, then type the initials CS in white on top of it. A simple shape is easily recognizable even when printed small.
Step 3: Company Name and Address
Next to the logo, type the company name in bold font, and below it, the address and contact information in smaller font. The company name becomes the strongest element in the header.
Step 4: Double Separator Line
Create a thick blue line as wide as the margin, then a thin orange line right below it. Double lines are a characteristic feature of official letterheads in Indonesia.
Step 5: Letter Content and Footer
Create a text frame for the letter content with an example date, number, subject, and paragraph. At the bottom of the page, add a thin colored box with the website address and phone number as the footer. Export to PDF for printing at the printer.
Step 6: Export
A letterhead can also be saved as a template, so that every new letter starts with the same design.
Done!
Done! We've created an A4 document, a circular logo, company name and address, double separator line, content area and footer, then exported to PDF. In the next episode, we create an A5 flyer for event promotion. Need a magazine layout design, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
