Gallery: Zeroing In
Posted by David Greiner on August 7, 2006
Who would have thought the monthly newsletter for a waste management board could look so good? This inaugural email design sent for the Waste Management Board of Western Australia is another great gallery example on getting the basics right.
The link to a web version and table of contents are in a great spot and all the important content is text-based. We also loved the idea of using a contrasting background color to highlight separate initiatives towards the bottom of the email.
The designer has also done a great job building expectations for the second issue of the newsletter by letting readers know they should expect it in two months time.

Just wanted to add my thanks to Steven Castledine, who designed the header graphic for the email.
I also picked up a lot about the basics from this gallery, the resources and Mark Wyner's article CSS and Email, Kissing in a Tree from way back.
