Letterhead Template Design Download - Cool Boxes

Hello friends,

Have you experienced that moment when you really need to design a letterhead but you have no time doing it? Either you are in a hurry or your head is not calm to design something... I designed these letterheads for that awkward moment. 

About the letterhead:

I made it with some few boxes resting at the top of the page and some right/left angled shape like things at the bottom to give it some cool effects. The company name was typed with Audiowide font type which you can change by clicking on it and retyping in the invisible box (no outline box). This letterhead is really cool for some company type. 

You can make changes to it as you like because it's not lock. I made some few colours like about 6 different colours types. If after downloading the zip file below, you then noticed that your company colour is not in any of the designs, you can edit one of them and change the colour to that of your company. It's really easy to do.

To change the colours at the top of the screen, click on each individual box and choose a new colour. Same goes with those shapes below. All you need do is click and choose a new colour.

How to design an envelope using Microsoft Word 2013

Hello friends,

Am here with another interesting tutorial for you today; How to design an envelope using Microsoft Word 2013.

If you missed my last article on how to design a cover page for your document, click here now.
So, let’s get started immediately!

STEPS
1. Launch Ms Word 2013 then go to page layout and change the size of your paper to Envelop #10 and also change the orientation to Landscape.

2. Go to Insert and select shapes. Choose the Rectangular shape and draw it on your document. Stretch the edges till it touches all edge of the paper size (envelope).
Now go to Drawing tools – Format Menu and fill it with Black. Then go to gradient and change some settings. Check picture below

Note: If you don’t want such heavy colour because of your printed ink, you can choose a light colour like light grey or faint blue or any other light colour of your choice.

3. Go to Insert again and choose Triangle then insert it. Rotate it to the right then click the edit shape icon and choose Edit points.

Go to the corners of the shape where you have a node (point), shape them until it looks like mine then fill it with orange.
After that go to Shape fill and click gradient. Select the icon I selected below. Place the filled triangle to the bottom right of the black background making it touch the bottom line and the right line.

4. Now duplicate that triangle and fill it with black (100% black). In the Format menu, click Send Backward to move it to the back of the orange triangle and in front of the black background.

If you aren’t getting it right, you can bring the two shapes (the two triangles) out and place them appropriately.

5. Insert a text box and type in it “Microsoft Office Helps”. Rotate the text box in order to make the text rotate and place it beside the triangular shapes. Fill the Text with Orange colour and the outline with Black. In this tutorial, I used Slant as my font type; size 24.
Highlight the beginning “M” and increase the font size to 36.
Now double click on any of the text box outline; you will be in the format menu. Choose no Colour Outline and No Colour fill.

6. Insert a straight line, rotate and place it above and below the company name as I did mine.

7. Insert another text box with no outline colour and no fill colour. Type in it your company slogan and colour it white then place it below your company name.
Note, do not fill the box with white but the text in it.

8. Insert your company logo and place in at the top centre of the black background or you can also place it on top of your company name and rotate it to fit better. It’s your choice.

9. Finally, insert a text box with no fill and outline colour then type in your company address, phone number, email address and every other information at the bottom left of the background and fill in with orange colour.

You are done! That is your design for you.

Remember, you are not limited because you can experiment with things and colour to see the one that matches your company better. If your company official colour isn’t orange, you can still use that colour and it will go well with the design.
