Despite the dizzying pace of technological change, when it comes to running a successful business, some key ingredients are as vital today as they were a hundred years ago—things like an intelligent business plan, a good handshake, and an attractive letterhead. Yes, no matter how many slick new ways there are to communicate with clients and partners, you still need a well-designed letterhead to be the face of your business on correspondence, cards, envelopes, etc.
And who better to guide you in this process than Nigel French? And what better program to use for this job than InDesign? OK, Illustrator and Word have important roles too.
In Nigel’s Lynda.com course, Designing a Letterhead System, you’ll learn how to craft a versatile look that can be applied to your whole portfolio.
And in the free movie below, Nigel walks you through the process of looking at letterhead examples. Check it out!
