Cool email design ideas that don’t require Photoshop

Make a really nice button

  1. Create a one cell table
  2. Set the padding between 5-10
  3. Choose a bright background colour that coordinates with your design
  4. Pale colour for border 2px width
  5. Choose a font and style that coordinates with but is subtly different to your main font.

To make this table look really professional I added some padding and a grey border that matches the email background colour. I then changed the background colour of some individual cells to help structure the information more neatly.

Use paragraphs or structure tables to create nice designs. For example with this email I could have created the 2nd and 3rd winners entirely in Photoshop however a table with a large font and an image works just as well!
