AKAR
Designed by AKAR Architecture and Design
The lovely colors and stunning imagery were the first thing that caught our eye when we saw this design. But it goes beyond that, the layout is wonderfully balanced with the images alternating sides as you scroll down which allows each artist's work to stand out on its own. The consistent styling of each section gives a sense of continuity to the whole design.
The content is well designed, too. The whole email leads off with a simply stated announcement. The recipient will have to read no further to get the most important piece of information the email has to offer. From there it launches into details of the featured artists and other inviting information such as a link to their online shop and current specials. All in all the content seems perfectly prioritized.

The layout breaks at firefox font size zoom +1 and +2,
as a general rule we design all emails to work within +2 font size for accessibility reasons, and use font size=“1”, “2” or “3” (or relative percentages) to ensure that they can be enlarged for short-sighted users.
