TCO 285 Letterhead Assignment

Purpose: Your task is to create a letterhead used in stationery (for letters) for a professional organization or group of your choice. You will need to compose your own text and create or find your own graphic elements.

Ideas for Audience (but not limited to these)

  • Business
  • Non-profit organization
  • Fund-raising/development/foundation
  • School/university
  • Personal

Fraternities, sororities, school organizations, etc. do not count as potential projects (sorry!)

Audience: Be able to describe your audience in class if called upon.

Purpose: Your letterhead should be composed of elements designed to bring focus and visual identity to the organization's letters.

Personal Constraints: This is an individual design project-beyond simple peer conversations, you may not seek detailed assistance with design or with common tasks. If you are attempting a technique beyond what we have studied, you may seek technical assistance. Of course, you may always ask your instructor for help.

Evaluation: The redesigned letterhead will be graded using the Letterhead Grading Rubric.

See the schedule for due dates.

Submission Format: Please submit your letterhead in a printed form in class.
