It seems as if you have not fully understood how LaTeX works:

The design is controlled by the document class. You CAN write your own
customized document class. It is also fully possible to make
"exceptions" from the base class for signle lines or paragraphs.

The document class is a kind of "macros" for each part of the
document, telling TeX how to lay things out. And since it is macros,
they can of course be changed, replaced or amended.

Have you for example looked at this page for tips on how to acheive
what you want?

I'd say TeX is even more powerful than Indesign or similar program,
the only thing it lacks is WYSIWYG. In LaTeX you can for example
specify that the paragraph on top of each page shall be differently
formatted than the other pargraphs, and that works even when text is
reflowed. That is possible because the document class is a macro, you
can use "if...then"-like conditions for the formatting.

The problem is that you need to learn, and fully understand, the TeX
language to make these modifications.
