Three Ways to Create a Great Email Newsletter Header Design

1. Do it Yourself.

If you are going to create your own design then please don’t be tempted to use just your logo as the header image. Background photos are the way forward! For good free photos check out Stock.XCHNG, Freerange Stock, Morguefile or…. iStockPhoto is also fantastic, great images for a few dollars!

Once you’ve found the perfect photo make it your own!
Edit with simple tools like Aviary, PicMonkey or Photoshop Online. Your chosen image might look pretty cool if you run it through an Instagram filter? ( Just a thought! ) Of course you’ll want to add your company logo and tagline to brand the completed design.

Better still. Why not use a photo of your shop, product or team? That works too!

2. Hire a Pro Designer.

It’s worth considering having your header created for you by a pro. Yes, header images really are THAT important! As it’s the static image that sits at the top of all your email newsletters you’ll only ever have to have it created once. Might as well make it really glorious!
