Tutorial: Creating business cards and letterhead.
Please note: This tutorial is used with The
Corporate Identity Creator,
also by Laughingbird Software.
The Corporate Identity Creator ships
with The Logo Creator engine and a logo
set containing 50 logos (not
found in any other logo set!)
Creating your own custom stationery and logo is easy!
Follow this quick step by step tutorial and you'll have terrific looking
cards and letterhead in just a few minutes!
Step 1:
Start by launching The Logo Creator. A version of The Logo Creator
is included free when you purchase The Corporate Identity Creator. Choose
a logo to manipulate.
Step 2:
once you're satisfied with your new logo - pull down the "Export"
menu, and choose "PNG - Transparency".
Step 3:
This will output your new logo with no background behind
it. This makes it great for overlaying the new image on top of various
backgrounds.
(the checkerboard pattern below is simply there to show you the
logo is transparent. They're not exported with your logo)
Step 4:
Launch The Corporate Identity Creator.
Step 5:
Start creating your new stationery by typing in your name and
company information. At the bottom of this screen, you can import your
new logo (or any image you have on your hard drive. A photo for instance).
Step 6:
Over 90 matching templates to choose from! Once you choose a set,
you can modify them all by choosing different backgrounds, changing fonts,
importing your own photos and logos and much more!
Step 7:
Once you find a template you'd like to start with, you'll see
your new logo also appears. The logo will initially be sized fairly small.
You can enlarge it!
Step 8:
Enlarge it by choosing the MODIFY button to the left. Click and
drag your logo to resize. This is also the way to resize your own photos,
or any image that you import into The Corporate Identity Creator!
Step 9:
Position the logo.
Step 10:
Position and scale the logo in all three sections (business card,
letterhead and envelope).
Step 11:
Choose "Publish" from the buttons at the top of the
interface!
You can choose to print with your own printer, or upload
your new corporate identity to our online Printshop! -
