12 lovely, yet lethal email newsletter designs

The Lethals
 

The gallery took an edgier turn this month, with an emphasis on modern achitecture thanks to Agape, Büro North and 360 Design Studios. On the lighter side, we found lots of reasons to love email newsletters from Like.ie, Savvy.je, Woody & Morris and Sunny Thinking. Despite the strong showing, The Lethals (pictured) was our top pick - find out why in our email design gallery.

Come join us for a tour of our new office!
