In anticipation of their 2011 overhaul, the online training solution ActiveSmart sent this announcement to their users, as a sneak peek of what’s in store in the new version. A joint effort by Catch Design and DNA, the email not only previews some of the new features, but also a sleek new look for ActiveSmart.

Every element here is simple and thoughtfully designed, and the sum of the parts is a no-nonsense campaign that looks great across the major email clients.
