Designing the Envelope

Finally, you'll create a standard #10 envelope. Create a new InDesign file, set to 9.5 inches wide and 4.125 inches tall. Set the margins to 0.375 inches; you don't need a bleed because you won't be using the photo in this design.

Did you Know?

As I mentioned earlier with the business card, you might consider saving the envelope settings as a document preset so that you can quickly create standard envelopes in the future.

First, copy and paste the logo and the text from the business card file and remove the phone number (not necessary for an envelope). Position the text and the logo in the upper-left corner of the envelope and save the file to your Version Cue project with a comment to complete the envelope (see Figure 12.33).

Congratulations, you've just created a complete corporate identity!
