This campaign from Citrine Jewelry really leaps off the screen. We love how the large product images break out of the main column. It really adds interest and draws your eye.
The colors are also nice and neutral, in keeping with their website, and the elegant typography ensures the e-mail still looks great even with images off.

Studiobanks is behind this excellent newsletter designed for Blynk Organic. The branding is consistent with their website, but the design has been simplified to be more suited to the restrictions of e-mail.
The large amount of whitespace really lets the content stand out on its own, and we think it works really well with the organic theme.
The footer is a nice final touch, and really ties the whole newsletter together. Overall a very well executed design.

Boy, does this campaign from Enjoy Ticino make our mouths water. The colorful edibles really pop off the monochromatic layout. The design looks very sharp, and we love how the photos and logos are combined to separate the three sections of the email.
While most attention is drawn to the menus, the contact info and addresses are easily available in the right column. An impressively sharp and timely email.

All you Ruby developers out there will be pleased to know that a new SOAP-based Ruby gem has just been released for the Campaign Monitor API. The gem is the work of clever Campaign Monitor customer Marcelo Menezes, who was kind enough to open source his code and make it available to all at GitHub.
You might remember that we already have an existing Ruby gem available for the API. This gem uses the HTTP protocol to interface with our API and covers most, but not all of our API methods. Marcelo's gem instead uses the SOAP protocol and also covers every method currently available in the API. A big thanks to Marcelo for his hard work and generosity in sharing it with the Campaign Monitor community.

This newsletter for Batlow, does a good job of organizing a decent amount of content without sacrificing design aesthetics.
The earthy tones and wood textures combine with the bright, chirpy colors of the logo and text to create an elegant, well-structured newsletter design. There are some nice image headings and buttons throughout the design, but these do not need to be relied upon, as the email is still legible when images are turned off.
