This email campaign for Designer’s Bookshelf by James Santilli is a great example of having all the right elements in all the right places. Being that its a piece for designers, about design books, there’s no doubt that there would have been a lot of pressure to apply a sound understanding of design principles, down to the placement of these elements.

The clear grid layout juxtaposed with vibrant images, text-only headers and distinct links has it all. Even with the images turned off, each link and all vital content are all expertly displayed. Well done!

    Hi Jason, where can I find the template for an email like this? I am looking for this sort of simple one column design.

    Hi Robert, sorry to chime in, but have you taken a look at our new template editor? That’s the easy way to put together a 1-column layout like this. Hope that does the trick! :D

Got anything to add?
