Business Card, Letterhead, & Envelope Design
Using the logo you’ve designed, create some professional documents: a business card (3.5" x 2"), letterhead (8 1/2" x 11"), and envelope. Consider using a site like this for the envelope. Then copy/paste the image to a Microsoft Publisher envelope template file. Follow these guidelines:
Mr. Hermanet
South Seneca High School
7263 Main Street
Ovid, NY 14521
- Examine other promotional documents. Be aware in and out of school and always on the lookout for good design examples. Which ones are more successful than others? Why?
- Add the word “Design” to your logo. You will be representing yourself as a professional designer.
- Sketch out some ideas before or during your work.
- Consider and incorporate what you have learned and continue to learn about design principles: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity.
- Be prepared to discuss and justify your design solution(s) with others in the class.
- For display purposes:
- Create one unused sample copy each of the business card, letterhead, and envelope.
- Create an additional copy of the letterhead with a memorandum to Mr. Hermanet stating that you have completed the assigned project and explaining/ justifying your design decisions.
- Place the letter in another envelope addressed to Mr. Hermanet at the address below (but do not seal the envelope):
Mr. Hermanet
South Seneca High School
7263 Main Street
Ovid, NY 14521
- Additional design guidelines will be given in class. Please follow these suggestions for more successful solutions.
