How can i create a document where each page consist of a text-box containing the page's content, with a colored box on its top and left side and the same heading (text 1) on each side, like shown in the picture below which was created in publisher?

I have already looked into coloring the marginpar with tikz, but i am unable to get the desired result.

Here is an option using eso-pic to place the sidebar, top bar and text using positioning relative to the text block:

documentclass{article}



usepackage{xcolor,eso-pic}

usepackage{lipsum}



definecolor{sidebarcolour}{RGB}{248,203,173}

definecolor{toprulecolour}{RGB}{192,0,0}



pagestyle{empty}



AddToShipoutPictureFG{%

  AtTextLowerLeft{%

    % Side bar

    makebox[0pt][r]{%

      textcolor{sidebarcolour}{rule[-5baselineskip]{marginparwidth}{dimexprtextheight+5baselineskip}}%

      hspace{10pt}%

    }%

  }%

  AtTextUpperLeft{%

    % Top bar

    hspace{-dimexprmarginparwidth+10pt}%

    textcolor{toprulecolour}{rule{dimexprmarginparwidth+textwidth+20pt}{2baselineskip}}%

  }%

  AtTextUpperLeft{%

    % Top text

    makebox[textwidth]{raisebox{3baselineskip}{Large Text}}%

  }%

}



begin{document}



sloppy % Just for this example

lipsum[1-50]



end{document}

Lengths and other positioning can be changed as needed.

Welcome to TeX.SE! Here is a possible way. I am not claiming that this is the most elegant way.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikzpagenodes,eso-pic}

newcommand{PageTitle}[1]{xdefmyPageTitle{#1}}

AddToShipoutPictureBG{%

begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]

fill[orange!70] (current page.south west) rectangle 

([xshift=-2mm,yshift=1mm]current page text area.north west);

fill[red] ([yshift=1mm]current page text area.north -| current page.west)

 rectangle ([yshift=11mm]current page text area.north -| current page.east);

node[anchor=south] at ([yshift=11mm]current page text area.north) {myPageTitle};

end{tikzpicture}}

usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}

PageTitle{Some text}

lipsum[1-6]

PageTitle{Some other text}

lipsum[7-8]

end{document}

Using tcolorbox:

documentclass{article}

usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

usepackage{tikz,tcolorbox}

tcbuselibrary{skins,breakable}

usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}

begin{tcolorbox}[sharp corners,boxrule=0mm,colback=white,colframe=red!70!black,title={strut},

titlerule=6mm,left=0pt,right=0pt,top=0pt,]

begin{tcolorbox}[enhanced,breakable,sharp corners,

boxrule=0mm,right=0pt,

leftrule=3cm,grow to left by=1mm,

interior style={fill=white},

frame style={fill=red, fill opacity=0.15},

title style={fill=red, fill opacity=0.9},

]

lipsum[1-5]

end{tcolorbox}

end{tcolorbox}



end{document}
