Upgrade your email updates with beautiful newsletters.

Form and function are essential if you want to send news or email clients with communications they will actually read. If your newsletter is easily scannable or visually engaging, people will be more inclined to pay attention to the actual content. Learn how to design a newsletter that’s polished, professional, and easy on the eyes with Adobe InDesign and Adobe Spark.

Use baseline grids to guide your design.

Baseline grids are invaluable to help you align objects, create columns, snap objects to the grid, and more. These customizable grids won’t show up in the final document; they simply act as a guide, much like graph paper does. Grid-based design is great for newsletters; when you organize your design around a grid, it naturally makes elements appear geometric, proportional, and visually engaging.
